The single intake for both sides of the SGC Network — clients commissioning senior advisory work, and the credentialed consultants ready to take it on.
Section II · Intake
One form, two paths. A client brief routes to matching in under an hour. A consultant application routes to the 41-point vetting queue. Median first response across the network: 41 hours.
Section III · Before you submit
01
A partnerships lead replies within a median of 41 hours. Your shortlist lands within 48 hours of a complete brief — measured across 11,300 engagements since 2018.
02
Nothing to post a brief and nothing to be considered for the network. Fees apply only on a confirmed engagement — and they run 40–60% below comparable Big Four rates, audited by Forrester in 2023.
03
4,217 verified members as of Q1 2025. 100% credential-checked against a proprietary 41-point rubric. Members come from 89 of the top 100 MBA programs and include 22 former partners of MBB firms.
04
Briefs are visible only to a named partnerships lead and the shortlist you approve. We do not sell, syndicate, or reuse your details. Conflict checks are run before any consultant sees your scope.
Section IV · A note from the desk
When we say 48 hours, we mean the time between a complete brief landing in our inbox and three interview-ready candidates landing in yours. Not a marketing estimate. Not a best-case. The median, measured across every engagement SGC has placed since the network opened in 2017.
We built the company on a single bet — that senior advisory work moves at the pace of the people doing it, not at the pace of the firms selling it. The intake form on this page is the only door into that bet. Fill it carefully, and we will be in touch before the second business day is out.
