Human Cloud Advisory
Most firms leave you a playbook.
We leave you the keys
to your future workforce.
Consider it forward-deployed talent transformation. At the end of 10 weeks you’ll be where your competitors hope to be in 10 years. How? Through a workforce that’s transitioned from full time and fragile to flexible and resilient, all internally managed so you have full control.
“Human Cloud possesses a rare ability to combine flexible talent expertise, with startup speed & creativity, all while understanding the unique needs of the enterprise.”

Daniel H. Pink#1 New York Times bestselling author of Drive, When and Free Agent NationHow it works
We Advise. Build. Then hand you the keys.
Three phases, and the third is the one nobody else offers — because nobody else has the technology to hand over at the end of it.
The executive layer
We start where a strategy firm starts — and then keep going. Matthew and Tony work directly with your leadership to map the workforce you actually have, decide function by function what to keep, augment or automate, and build the business case your CFO will sign.
35+ years of flexible talent experience.
The technology layer
The strategy gets stood up on Human Cloud, not stapled into a binder. We configure your sourcing, run your first RFPs against a vetted market, build your shortlists, and get real work moving with real solutions while your team watches how it is done.
Aggregate 1k+ solutions under one roof.

The leadership team
From Industrial to Pharmaceuticals, there isn't an industry we haven't helped.

In their words
Human Cloud was integral in designing and building our “borrow” strategy. They helped us understand how flexible talent could solve our unique company challenges, including the business case, the risk concerns, and the infrastructure required to get started. Thanks to Human Cloud, we have the capabilities to compliantly source thousands of freelancers from multiple talent platforms, and every hiring manager has a seamless experience along with white glove support if needed.

Microsoft’s First Ever Freelance PM
Human Cloud helps us future proof for however the next decade plus could turn out. The rapidly changing work landscape has been a source of fear for me. It’s tough to know what to prepare for when I don’t know what’s coming. I also made the book a required reading for my team so we can put together a game plan and make sure we thrive in this ever changing game we call work.

Human Cloud provides us with a clear vision of a new workplace, where the gig economy becomes mainstream, almost everybody works alongside a smart machine, and everything is in the cloud.

Human Cloud transformed the way we approach hiring. As a nationwide coffee company in the US, they showed us a better way to manage growth by pairing us with talent from all around the world. For example, an animation freelancer transformed our branding and communications with their stellar work.
