Career in Alt

The main assets of any consulting business are people and brand. These two features are almost equally important and interrelated. It may turn out to be a long discussion what should go first but we think that the answer depends on how strong the brand is. We all know the firms with worldwide known brand names and huge international network of offices. If you had an experience with one of them as an employee you might notice that their brand really outweighs the personality. The best managers and unique individuals are leaving such firms periodically but without any significant harm to the business from the revenue and market share standpoint. When the brand is strong it is not so important who represents it since the majority of clients contract the brand in expectation to minimize their business risk. The brand, of course, drives more the choice of auditors than consultants. But even in consulting the brand often beats the price and quality.

The whole point is that the individuals working under the big brands get dissolved in it. Being engaged by the big brand you might feel yourself like a small element of an enormous machine producing a standard service. The quality of this service is often controversial but it is standard at least. The main reason why the big international brands never control less than 80% of markets where they present is that the clients expect them to be not below the standard. Therefore, their primal objective is to develop and maintain such a standard. It does not mean, of course, that you can not be proud of being part of this standard. You can be proud of it but you can not change it. It gets changed by international macroeconomic and political factors. Thus, all that you can really do is to serve the brand, be proud of it and enjoy your salary that is likely to be above the average in the public practice sector.

The real problem for the big international brands is the high rate of labor turnover. They engage the young newly educated staff, train them and provide with professional experience. But in a couple of years the best of them receive more lucrative offers from other industries and just leave. For the time being the big brands have found no solution of this problem and it looks like they are not interested in solving it any longer. The effect of the brand name to the firm's revenue is really difficult to measure. But it is obvious that the more revenue is brought exclusively by the brand the less important it becomes who represents it. Therefore, those who leave quickly get substituted by the new staff without any significant damage to the brand.

Alt's strategy is totally different since we are only building up our brand. Moreover, we know exactly what kind of brand we are building up. That is going to be a brand of strong and gifted personalities instead of a brand of standard service. What we offer to these personalities can be expressed in three words: qualification, experience and attitude. In return we ask them for the loyalty to our brand. All our team members are self-motivated people. They know exactly what career they would like to build and see the way how to do that. We all in Alt could be successful self-practitioners but we have decided to consolidate our efforts under one common brand. Our terms of employment are always fair and basically let you earn that much how you would like to. We are ready to invest in your international professional qualification and monitor your personal growth to let you reach the level of independent professional auditor or consultant of highest caliber.

We know it on practice that we are capable of producing a service that is above the standard expected from the big international brands. The reason for that is quite simple: we are much more motivated and innovative. The high quality is achieved, first of all, by the loyalty and constant professional growth of our staff members. We try to create such conditions for them when it makes no sense to leave because their career and personal income prospects in Alt are really endless. But all the benefits of such conditions can be appreciated only by the people with particular kind of character and attitude to the profession they have chosen. Such people form the Alt's brand.
