/ CONSULTING & TALENT · DUBAI / GCC
Sharp Minds
A two-sided talent marketplace placing senior consultants into Gulf transformation mandates — built end-to-end as one platform.

/ The challenge
Placing elite consultants into banking, government and telecom mandates ran on manual work: applications by email, CVs formatted by hand, timesheets in spreadsheets, and no single view of mandates, applicants or billing.
/ What we built
One system at a time
A public mandate board with a full applicant pipeline — apply, shortlist, client review, interview, onboard.
Public mandate board
AI-assisted CV and project-brief generation, native on the platform.
Application tracker
Consultant timesheets with spreadsheet-grade editing, synced across a dual data layer.
Consultant timesheets
OCR expense capture, invoicing, and admin dashboards for the operating team.
