What is Arches ?
Arches is the leading human capital sharing platform connecting experts in Asia with clients all over the world.
Is there any registration fee or membership fee to join Arches’ network ?
No. Joining our network is completely free. We will never ask an expert for registration fee or membership fee.
How do I get started ?
The very first step is to register your details with us. The next step is to write a short bio of your professional experience, so we know which consulting assignments are relevant for you. Then all you need to do is keep this information up to date.
What happens once I am put forward for a project?
If we think you are a good candidate for an assignment, you will get an opportunity to review the discussion topics, and decide whether to participate in the project based on your knowledge of the topic and availability.
Whom would I be consulting with?
Typically our clients are consulting firms, private equity/venture capital firms, hedge funds and corporations.
What topics will I be expected to discuss during a project?
Topics differ from one project to another. Typically, our clients are looking for a general industry overview or specific information about a trend, service, or product.
You are under no obligation to answer client questions if they create a conflict of interests, and you should not answer any questions that require you to share confidential information or put you in breach of any contracts you have with your employer.

Do I need to prepare before the consultation? Will I be paid for my preparation time?
Our clients will only expect you to answer general questions based on your experience. You will not need to prepare in advance.
“I don’t have time; I am too busy.” How do I find the time to consult?
We understand that you will have your own personal and professional obligations that need to be worked around. We offer a range of options, including calls as short as 15 minutes, so we are sure we can work out a solution that works for you. When joining projects, please also share your current availability so we can manage this effectively.

If in doubt, this is something you need to check with your employer. Every employer is different, so it is your responsibility to determine whether you are permitted to consult given your current employment circumstances.

Can I share information about my consultations with others?
