Staffing Intelligence for Mid-Market Consulting
Put the right people on the right engagements —
before the SOW is signed.
Kelpmont reads the signals in your client engagement data to surface staffing recommendations your partners actually act on.
The Staffing Problem
Gut feel still drives most staffing decisions in consulting.
When a new engagement lands, partners default to who's top of mind: whoever spoke up in the last meeting, whoever is available, whoever has seniority. Actual client-fit data exists — in your CRM, your timesheets, your past SOWs — but no one has the bandwidth to surface it.
The result: mis-staffed engagements that erode client relationships, rack up out-of-scope revisions, and quietly drain the firm's reputation for delivery excellence.
Kelpmont closes the gap between your data and your staffing decision, before the engagement kicks off.
How Kelpmont Works
From engagement data to staffing confidence in three steps.
No manual data prep. No consultant surveys. No custom models that require data science. Kelpmont connects to what your firm already has.
Connect Engagement Data
Kelpmont integrates with Salesforce, HubSpot, your timesheet platform, and historical SOW data. Setup typically takes one business day.
Surface Staffing Patterns
The pattern engine reads engagement trajectories, client communication signals, and partner performance history to identify fit dimensions that billable hours alone can't reveal.
Recommend with Confidence
Partners receive ranked staffing recommendations with supporting rationale — which analyst's background matches this client's tech stack, which partner's style fits their decision culture.
The Platform

From firms putting signal over seniority.
Before Kelpmont, our staffing decisions were basically whoever Sarah thought of first. Now we have actual signal on which partner clicks with which type of client.
We were leaving engagement pattern data on the table in our CRM for years. Kelpmont was the first tool that actually surfaced it in a form partners use.
