A consultant's journey

A consultant's journey through BestConsultant

Follow Camille through BestConsultant. Every step of her life as a consultant feeds the next one, with no re-keying and no spreadsheet in between.

01Recruitment

The application lands, screening decides

Camille applies from your careers page. Her application arrives in screening with her CV, cover letter, degree and source. Three possible decisions, and this one opens the hiring process.

  • Careers page in your colours, one posting per office, job or team
  • Custom form, duplicate applications blocked, automatic acknowledgement
  • Views, applications and conversion rate tracked posting by posting
  • Bulk replies from your email templates, filters by office and team

One application, one row, three decisions.

See the Recruitment module

02Interviews

Three rounds, one scorecard, one offer

Every round has its slots and its recruiters. They all fill in the same scorecard, the scores average out, and the candidate file is generated as a PDF.

  • Interview slots and Teams invitations created from the candidate record
  • Statuses that move on their own: to decide, to schedule, to assess
  • Scorecards you design yourself: text, score, comment, average
  • Offer issued, candidate's answer logged, file archived

Candidates you can finally compare.

See the Recruitment module

03Onboarding

Onboarding runs itself

The accepted offer triggers the arrival process. Each action goes to the right person and, once closed, the signed documents land in the HR record.

  • Arrival and departure process templates, launched in one click
  • Document signature, file upload, task to complete, information email
  • Timeline view of open and closed processes
  • Generated documents are filed into the office's document structure

No document lost between signature and HR record.

04Staffing

She is staffed, and her leave lands inside the plan

You look for who is available with the right skills, then you place the days. The calculator skips weekends and public holidays, and the leave Camille just had approved drops out of the workload plan on its own.

  • Resource search by dates, skills, languages, sector or team
  • Day allocation through the calculator, holidays and leave skipped
  • Leave request approved at one or several levels, balance recalculated before sending
  • Gantt view of the workload plan, fed by real timesheet days
  • Budget per resource: planned, sold and remaining days, margin gap

The workload plan and the absences never contradict each other.

See the Projects module

05Training

In parallel, she builds up her skills

The project moves forward, so does training. Camille picks from the catalogue, the session is scheduled, attendance is tracked, and the skill she gains is grafted back onto her record.

  • Catalogue by duration, target job and targeted skills
  • Scheduled sessions, waiting list and attendance sheet as PDF
  • Calendar invitations tracked: accepted, declined, absences
  • Training budget, fill rate and training days consolidated

Skills growth follows the project, not the other way round.

See the Training module

06Timesheet

The month fills in, the expenses hook onto it

The planned days pour into Camille's sheet and her leave is already in there. She adjusts, she photographs her receipts, AI fills in the lines, and every expense leaves with the right project attached.

  • Pre-filled from projects, training sessions and absences
  • Entry in percentage or in hours, weekends locked by default
  • Email reminders for empty or incomplete timesheets
  • Automatic receipt extraction by AI, from a photo or a PDF
  • Rebillable expenses picked up by the invoice, non-rebillable ones by EBITDA

Real days and attached expenses, without a single re-entry.

See the Timesheet module

07Review

End of assignment: the review

The project ends with a project evaluation. The form is filled in, signed and exported as a PDF. At the next review, AI aggregates every project evaluation to prepare the period review.

  • Project, period or 360° evaluations, as a campaign or one by one
  • Simple, cross or two-step questionnaire, signed then exported as a PDF
  • AI aggregates the project evaluations into the period review
  • Campaigns steered with quantitative and qualitative AI-assisted statistics
  • Scores feed the employee's skills matrix

AI aggregates the assignment reviews; the decision stays yours.

See the Evaluation module

08Invoicing

Real days become an invoice

The sold budget, the entered days and the rebillable expenses feed the invoicing schedule. You tick, you create the invoice, and you track the payment through to collection.

  • Schedule on a fixed price, on planned days or on real days
  • Rebillable expenses and expense reports picked up automatically
  • Draft, issued, sent, paid: every step is traced
  • Invoice templates, payment terms and credit notes included

From the day entered to the euro collected.

See the Invoicing module

And it all rolls up into your dashboards

Not one of those steps needed re-keying. Every module writes into the next, and the result shows up day by day in the staffing rate, production, EBITDA and cash flow. That is what changes when software is built for consulting firms.
