We Can Help You be a Successful Consultant

About Consulting with MHR

MHR has an independent contractor model. Therefore, if you are hesitant at all about leaving your employee benefits behind for a greater reward and flexibility in consulting, please do not apply for these positions.

MHR has an extensive interview process that involves three interviews, scoring well on one or two accreditation exercises, taking a DISC profile, and passing a background check. MHR only wants those who are very attentive to detail, have a teachable spirit, and who tend to be perfectionists.

Once accepted, we have a rigorous orientation and monitoring process to assure that our clients receive the very detailed evaluation against NCQA standards. This is unlike most consulting firms who put new consultants in situations where they learn as they go while racking up billable hours. MHR’s reputation and brand for high quality and detailed work is carefully protected. Therefore, substantial administrative cost is invested in assuring that work is as error-free as possible. Not everyone is qualified or adept at this type of work and that is why both our screening and our onboarding process are well-developed and extensive.
