The IT sector is vast, versatile, and always evolving. This is why it offers opportunities for different kinds of experts, from designers to developers.

If you’re looking for a new job in IT, and you’re either working as a consultant already or interested in it, read ahead! In this blog, we tell you the top 3 things we look for in consultants.
Experience: past projects, positions, and education
The first thing that we take into account is experience. How long have you been working in IT? What kind of projects have you been involved in? What is your educational background? Experience is not just about one thing, such as past positions at work or education, but rather the sum of multiple things.
We are all individuals, and we appreciate the fact that we are all individuals. But, when we’re looking at your profile, we need some help from you, too. It’s a good idea to write about your experience broadly, to include details and examples. Bullet points can be your best friend when doing this! Including details will help us better understand your experience and find the best projects for you.
Every project and position tells its own story. Experience brings along certainty and expertise, which our customers appreciate. Experienced professionals understand the connections between technology and business, and can utilize their skills in different environments.
Expertise: what is your tech stack?
In addition to experience, we consider the individual's expertise. Are you an expert in some technology? Let us know! We want to know what you know best. Understanding your expertise and tech stack also helps us in finding the most relevant projects for you.
We also appreciate the willingness to keep learning continuously. As said, the world of IT is always evolving!
Personality: an important part of the picture
Consultant’s work is not only code and technology but also human contacts and cooperation. For example, listening to the customer and solving problems creatively are important skills for a consultant.
It’s important for us to find individuals who can work together with different kinds of people and adapt to different situations. Not only do we want to find the best person for the project — we also want to find the best project for the person. We want you to be happy with your working life.
Experience + expertise + personality + project = Marvelous Match!
In addition to matching the technology and experience requirements, it’s important to be able to fit into the customer’s environment and culture. We want to be our customers' trusted partner and leave a good impression, and we want our consultants to prosper in their projects. To achieve this. We need to find the right person for the right project, or what we like to call, the Marvelous Match.
