How HFscout Works for Human Factors and Usability Consultants
Consultants Gain Exposure to Potential Clients
Registered usability and human factors consultants create free profiles on HFscout that are made searchable to registered businesses and project owners. Consultant profiles contain information that is relevant to businesses and project owners for finding the best possible matches for their project's needs.
When businesses or project owners find a qualified consultant, they contact the consultant through the HFscout website. At that time the project owner's contact information is shared with the consultant.
Consultants Find Consulting Projects
Registered usability and human factors consultants freely search current projects that registered businesses and project owners post on HFscout. Project posts contain information that is relevant to consultants for screening the projects that best match their own skills and expertise.
When consultants find a project that they are interested in bidding on, they contact the project owner through the HFscout website. At that time the consultant's contact information is shared with the project owner.
