Reasons to register as an expert with Portevo

We believe there are four compelling reasons to come on board with Portevo

Flexibility

You control and shape the kind of work you do, as well as how much you work and where you do it. By maintaining your Portevo profile you ensure you’re only matched to relevant and interesting briefs.

Belonging

Independence can mean a lack of opportunity for collaboration. Being part of the Portevo community, you can benefit from team-based projects, as well as interacting within a community of practice

Value

The assurance and liquidity Portevo provides to the market helps ensure your true value is recognised. In conjunction with setting your own rate, you have the potential to optimise the value you get from work

Development

By taking advantage of formal and informal learning opportunities hosted by Portevo, you can benefit from regular professional development through the opportunity to connect with others on Portevo

Helping you know your strengths

Ever wanted to understand your soft-skill strengths so that you can better identify the type of work you’re looking for?

Portevo has partnered with a PhD in organisational psychology to develop a proprietary ‘strengh finder’ model. One that can help you better leverage your strengths when trying to win client work.

We’re still in the R&D stage and need to collect enough data so that we can create statistically valid norms. So we’re looking for our Consultant community to help us by completing the set of questions at the link below. It takes between 15 to 20 minutes.

In exchange for your time we will donate £10 to one of the charities listed on the survey; and once we have enough data we will share your personalised portrait with you at the email address you provide.
