“I spoke with Umbrex on a Friday afternoon; on Monday morning a former McKinsey Engagement Manager was leading our post-merger integration effort.”

“Umbrex is run by McKinsey alums, so they understand the type of talent I need.”

“We've got Umbrex on speed-dial.”

“Some consultants talk at you. Umbrex is a partner. They listen and ask smart questions. They help me figure out exactly what kind of profile I need.”

“I appreciate the flexibility I get with Umbrex. No fixed pyramid model. I can get one or more consultants, full time or part-time, junior or senior, remote or on-site.”

"No other firm operates with a comparable sense of urgency. Within twenty-four hours of speaking with Umbrex, I get profiles of highly qualified candidates who are a good fit for my project."

"We think of Umbrex as a strategic partner."

"One way that Umbrex particularly earned my trust is that if they aren't the right solution for a given project, they tell me up front and recommend another firm."
