Built by people who've worked inside the system.

Cloud staffing is broken in a specific way: the people who know the work get filtered out by staffing firms that optimize for margin, not match quality. Enterprises end up interviewing stacks of résumés from candidates who've never touched the technology on the job description. Consultants spend months hunting for opportunities through agencies that take a 40–50% cut and then disappear.

Rob and Jose built CTP after years on the delivery side — watching engagements fail because the "senior" consultant on the statement of work had never actually done the thing they were hired to do. The fix isn't more résumés. It's a smaller, verified network where every person has been vetted against what they actually claim to know.

Everything is Corp-to-Corp. Consultants maintain their own business entities, carry their own insurance, and work directly with clients. We handle sourcing, vetting, and facilitation — and we keep our margin transparent.

The center of our business is a small number of beliefs that show up in every decision we make about how to source, vet, place, and pay consultants. They are not particularly novel, but they are not universal in cloud staffing either — and they are the reason CTP exists as a separate thing rather than as a job at one of the firms we used to deal with.

• Senior practitioners are the product. The reason a client pays CTP's rate is the person on the other end of the engagement. Everything else we do — sales, scoping, paperwork, QA — exists to make that person's work possible, not to substitute for it.
• Smaller is better than bigger. Growing the network without preserving the vetting bar would dilute the brand within a year. We will turn down work before we will turn down our standards.
• Transparency beats persuasion. Clients and consultants make better decisions when they see real numbers. We share the margin both ways and we do not negotiate against the consultant after the client has signed.
• Honest about scope. Saying "we are not the right fit" or "this should not be CTP" early is more valuable than landing the engagement and underdelivering. Referral is a feature, not a failure.
• Documentation is part of the work. Every engagement leaves a written artifact your team can read, extend, and onboard new people against — not a slide deck and a thank-you email.
