The consulting and staffing benchmark includes organizations that provide advisory and implementation services across a wide range of industries. These organizations tend to have the same leadership and employment structure - though they tend to range from professional engineering consulting, leadership and strategy consulting as well as talent search and recruitment. This benchmark only includes Women employees. We use woman and man because most of our customers are using binary options.
