FAQs
-
What is Ada Management?We are a new talent management model for the professional world with a single mission: to shine a spotlight on the exceptional accomplishments of technical talent. At Ada Management, our client is our talent: we lock in the good ones and work together to maximise opportunities. We curate our talent via talent scouts who run vetting processes (technical and behavioural). We know our talent intimately, care about their objectives, matching them to curated roles. Ada Management works best for those who prefer a risk-free, curated approach to hiring extraordinary technical talent.
-
What is the difference between you and marketplace platforms like Toptal or Upwork?Marketplaces work on a volume basis offering hundreds of thousands of talent. This makes the experience anonymous, with reliance on AI algorithms or reviews to increase likelihoods of being hired. Vetting standards are mixed with few assessing human and leadership capabilities. A crowded environment can mean competitive prices that do not reflect a talent’s true value and worth.
-
What is the difference between you and headhunters or recruiters?Ada Management is a proactive, talent-first model: we find opportunities for people, market them and manage their administrative overheads. Recruiters are reactive, using a company-first model: they find people for jobs. Their client is the company, who pay them to find a candidate for a role. They usually work on commission or retainer and deliver a shortlist, a process that takes a few weeks or months.
-
What is the difference between your talent and cheaper offshore options or devshops?Offshore talent is typically highly commoditised. Our experts are hand-selected for their rare technical prowess and equally for their human capabilities. They are world class “complete” individuals available to work on-demand. The problems they solve are highly complex and their experience reflects work that is out of the ordinary. It is a different value proposition to the economic options available offshore.
