For consultants
A platform that works on your career
Legate matches you to management, technology and AI engagements that fit your expertise and your direction, not just your availability.
How it works
Five steps from your CV to a track record you own.
- 01Build your profile once
Upload your CV and anything else that shows your work: project lists, past references, a LinkedIn export. Our system structures it into one profile, and you check and approve the result in minutes. From then on we send briefs to you, and you write no applications.
- 02We vet you
The Legate team interviews you and verifies your references by hand. We check registration and insurance. We admit you on the strength of your record, and clients know that everyone they see went through the same review.
- 03Set your terms
Availability, rate, topics across management, technology and AI work, team size, travel tolerance and what you want to learn next. Where you have room to move, say so. Before you set a rate, you see what people with your background charge.
- 04Receive briefs and decide
We send you engagements that fit your terms, with the client context, the format and the full price attached, including what Legate earns on your work. Accept, decline or ask questions. Declining costs you nothing.
- 05Deliver and build your record
The Legate team runs the kick-off and checks in during delivery. After the engagement you get structured feedback, and we verify the client's reference by hand and add it to a credential you own. Each engagement adds to that record, and heavier work follows it.
Where independent consulting falls short
You left a good firm with your skills intact and lost the machinery around them. Every platform asks for another CV, and nobody tells you what the market pays, so you guess and undercharge your potential.
The coaching that made you good stopped the day you went solo, and a reputation you earn on one engagement stays there.

No fees
No joining fee, no cut of your rate. Elsewhere an intermediary talks your rate down and marks the client's price up, without either of you seeing the other's number. The client side pays us.
Why trust us
We earn when you are placed well, not often
We have the same interest
You pay nothing, and companies pay us per engagement. That means we earn by placing you well rather than often. Every brief shows the full price, including what Legate earns on your work.
Your profile stays yours
We share your profile with a client after you approve a specific match, and with no one before that. We store your data within the EU, GDPR-compliant. The references we verify belong to you, on Legate or anywhere else.
Progression after going solo
You get structured feedback after every engagement, references verified by hand. We want you to compound through the projects you do, so you experience the same learning curve as when you just started out in your previous consulting firm.
