DataPoint HR for professional services
Hire, onboard and staff consultants without pulling them off client work.
Consulting, accounting, legal and advisory firms grow by hiring specialists, and their senior people end up screening resumes, sitting on interview panels and approving timesheets. DataPoint automates the hiring and HR operations around them, so professionals spend more time with clients.
The business problem
Where the time goes today.
- Partners and managers spend billable hours screening candidates and coordinating interviews.
- Seasonal and graduate hiring brings sharp peaks in application volume.
- Engagement-specific contracts and offer terms are rebuilt by hand for every hire.
- Timesheet submission and approval depend on manual reminders every week.

Implementation
How we implement it.
Start with the hiring stage that consumes the most senior time, usually screening or scheduling.
Agree approval points so every offer and contract is reviewed before it goes out.
Connect the email and calendar tools partners already use.
Add timesheet and leave workflows once hiring is running smoothly.
