Top-tier consulting, fit for your budget and needs
Share a brief. We refine the scope, recommend the right support model to maximise ROI, and source the right fit in 48 hours - at lower markups than incumbents
Five steps to find the right support
Articulate the problem
Share a high-level brief. We (ex-top-tier consultants) help you clarify the real problem and sharpen the scope – so you get exactly the support you need (no unnecessary extras)
Align on outcomes & constraints
Define success, what's out of scope, and your constraints (budget, timeline, internal capacity, governance). This lets us recommend the best-fit option with clear trade-offs.
Tell us what's most important
Tell us what matters most – speed, domain depth, industry context, cost, onsite presence, or working style. We match for fit, not just capability.
Choose your engagement type
We will recommend what support model fits your brief the best to maximise your RoI:
- Independent consultant(s)
- Specialised consulting firm
- Senior expert (by the hour)
Select, contract and kick-off
Review a shortlist sent within 48 hours and pick your preferred candidate. You're up and running! We run lightweight check-ins to keep quality high and ensure you get your RoI.
Example engagements with Pear
Pear is not limited to "the project". We recommend the most fit-for-purpose model that will get the job done and maximise your ROI – like we did with these clients.
BCG built the strategy; someone had to help detail & execute
Growth strategy Board paper due in 3 months; Fixed fee. Fixed deadline
Unexpected CEO departure; interim senior leadership was required
Client had the answer but wanted to stress-test it with senior experts
Redefining how companies engage with consulting, powered by AI
Top-tier calibre, fraction of the cost
Access Pear-vetted ex-top-tier consultants (McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Kearney, etc.) with domain depth and specialist consulting firms without paying for brand tax and overheads.
You get: Affordable top-tier consulting, paying for outcomes, not overheads.
Fit-for-purpose support models
The most valuable and underappreciated consulting skill is defining the problem – that's why top-tier consulting firms invest heavily in business development so they can justify a project. For Pear, the priority #1 is to help you define your problem, goals, constraints and preferences so that we can recommend the right support models.
You get: Alternative support models beyond "The Project" with the one partner you know.
AI powered capability matching
Capability matching means context, skills, relevant experience, culture, ways of working, logistics, and reference-checked history and ongoing performance feedback so that each business partner working with you fits the briefing, your organisation, and target outcomes.
You get: The right business partners for your needs, preferences, and budget.
Transparent pricing and ROI maximisation mechanisms
We break down your problem and your costs so you can choose the best option with clear pros and cons. We also put in place mechanisms and tools (e.g. pre-kick-off briefings, checkpoints, feedback loops) to keep delivery on track.
You get: Transparent pricing and Quality Assurance support to maximise ROI.

Don't just take our word for it
"Pear connected us to a specialist consulting firm that was a better fit (capability and price wise) than us going to BCG by default and getting generalist business analysts for 4x the cost."
"What stood out was the quality of the match. Pear moved quickly, understood what we needed, and delivered a fit-for-purpose candidate at a rate that was 30% lower than what we would have gotten from Expert360 or a recruiter."
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about working with Pear.
We make top-tier consulting calibre accessible. We're not a job board or a staffing agency. Pear combines unbiased discovery (helping you understand your real need), AI-powered matching (pairing you with verified talent), and delivery assurance (QA checkpoints throughout). We're your personal consulting partner, not just a marketplace.
Contact us to assess your specific use case. Regardless, you get transparent fees – fixed platform fee and delivery model dependent pricing. The fees are structured to come down as you use Pear more and more. And we won't be charging you the industry standard 25-40% mark-ups to start.
Our four-week satisfaction checkpoint gives you an early off-ramp. If things aren't working, we offer pivot options or make-good arrangements - including swap-out pathway or make-good options of underperforming consultants or consulting firms.
