Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you place a Strategic Resourcing professional?
Lead time is typically a couple of weeks at minimum, depending on the role, level of expertise required, and availability. More specialized skill sets or specific constraints (such as location or working hours) may extend timelines, but we work closely with clients to set clear expectations upfront.
How do embedded resources work with our team day to day?
UpTop resources embed directly into your product team’s existing workflows, ceremonies, and tools. They collaborate as part of your team while remaining connected to UpTop for strategic guidance, escalation support, and professional backing—ensuring consistency, accountability, and quality throughout the engagement.
Are Strategic Resourcing placements remote?
Yes. UpTop’s Strategic Resourcing model is remote-first, with thoughtful consideration given to time zone preferences and flexibility. More specific requirements can sometimes be accommodated, but they may limit placement availability. We’ll discuss these needs early to ensure alignment and feasibility.
How are Strategic Resourcing engagements structured and priced?
Strategic Resourcing engagements are typically structured as time-based placements aligned to your initiative needs, role scope, and experience level. Pricing varies based on role, seniority, duration, and any specialized requirements. We work directly with clients to define the engagement model and ensure clear expectations before placement begins.
What is the typical contract length, and can engagements be extended or ended early?
Strategic Resourcing engagements are typically structured around the duration of your initiative, often ranging from 3 months to 12+ months. Extensions are common and can be arranged as needs evolve. If priorities change, engagements can also be concluded with agreed-upon notice, allowing for thoughtful knowledge transfer and a smooth offboarding process.
