About Us
How we started
Scott River has been working in the area of marketing software consultant services since 2007. Based in the heart of Silicon Valley – the company boasts direct and personal access to both clients and consultants.
Scott River Company was specifically founded to deliver ‘white glove’ software and marketing talent solutions with a unique approach: Provide immediate access to the best professionals on the market while simultaneously offering independent consultants access to top-notch organizations and projects.
Scott River Company takes this novel approach very seriously. While many other consultancies maintain talent on a continuous payroll, Scott River maintains an independent relationship with its databases of engineers and marketing professionals. When projects arise, Scott River leverages its referral based network of available consultants to create a symbiotic match. The result: consultants are happy to get the project they wanted, not the one their employer sent them to – and clients are happy to get an exact match for what he or she was looking for, which is rarely the employee that the consultancy always has “available.”
