(Their experience ranges across finance, accounting, telecommunications, software, engineering and electronics.)

  Recruitment
Abelard Consulting's recruitment division specialises in the placing of technical writers. Our service is unique in a number of ways. For a start, our consultants are themselves experienced technical writers and so are especially adept at accurately profiling job roles. Secondly, through our own longstanding documentation consultancy work we have built up a vast network of technical writers. Thirdly, our peer-to-peer assessment methodology — assessment of applicants by practising technical writers — gives us the edge in filtering applicants, that is, in seeing quickly who really does fit a particular role. Taken together, our approach is designed to give you, the client, a short-list that is the cream of the available talent. [more]
