Using Abra is easy!

Here's how it works:

Step 1

Abra’s talent providers start by creating their own customized talent profile, free of charge. This includes their experiences with various roles and products, their associated certifications, licenses, and skills, and then their contract preferences, desired pay rate, and upcoming availability.

Step 2

Organizations, like yours, work with an Abra Concierge to create an organization profile. Then, your Concierge integrates into your current staffing and hiring processes to understand your talent needs and publishes them to the talent providers in Abra.

Step 3

Abra's specialized skill taxonomy identifies talent that matches your need, based on key expertise and contract requirements, including the role, skills, certifications, and licenses necessary, as well as the contract details, such as budget, onsite time, hours, duration, and timeframe.

Step 4

Your Abra Concierge shares your talent matches along in near real time with resume and skills information, up front pricing expectations, previous work experience, along with quality reviews from previous leaders they've worked for.

Step 5

Your organization selects and interviews potential candidates, or your Concierge can even assist in the interview process.

Step 6

You select your new team member and your concierge assists with contract negotiations, and facilitation of all of the other key pieces of engagement, such as onboarding and offboarding, to keep the process as simple as possible for your team.
