Quoted from BUSINESS DIGEST: "An online auction site for management consultants is to be launched by Global Consulting Group in a move that could spell the end for recruitment agencies. The new service, professionalassociates.com, will allow organisations to bid for the services of freelance consultants for three months at a time. The site will set a market rate and consultants can set a reserve price, and a "buy it now" price, just like web auctioneer Ebay."
