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.

Does Abra assist with interviews, contracting, and onboarding?

The Abra team, along with your Concierge, can assist with all aspects of hiring and onboarding, including interviewing, contracting, onboarding, and offboarding.

How does Abra ensure the quality of resources?

Abra aims to provide transparency into the talent marketplace. Talent has the opportunity to invite their past employers to provide feedback for their skillsets, collaboration, and communication. Additionally, after each engagement delivered through Abra, buyers are required to provide anonymous quality ratings and reviews on the work delivered by the talent provider. As a part of your talent selection process, you have the opportunity to review this feedback.

We are not sure exactly what type of resource we need for our projects and initiatives.  How can we use Abra?

Your Abra Concierge works to thoroughly understand the talent requirements to support your initiatives, and translates these needs into Abra demand, keeping the process as easy as possible for you and your team.  

What if we did not get results from Abra for our needs?

Abra is a dynamic marketplace, meaning you are notified of all matches as options change, whether from new talent entering the marketplace, or changing availability of current talent. In the case that there is not an immediate exact match for your needs, Abra provides alternate candidates who may have contract preferences that do not align exactly with your needs, allowing you and the talent marketplace to understand where some flexibility in the engagement may find you the best match from a skills and specialization perspective.

Are we able to hire talent we find on Abra to work directly for our organization?

Yes! If the talent provider you find on Abra is an independent contractor, you can always engage them directly. If the talent provider is an employee of another organization, that organization would have to agree to release their employee to your organization. The associated fees for facilitating direct engagement is up to 40% less than the industry average finder's fee.
