Vault Verdict
As a true boutique, Candesic offers a stimulating environment where insiders are given early responsibility and a diverse range of projects, leading to rich learning experiences. The firm’s culture and people are highlighted as key strengths, creating a supportive and engaging work environment. The firm’s focus on the healthcare sector provides resilience and growth opportunities, although there are calls for a more transparent and merit-based approach to career development and recruitment. In an election year in the UK—and particularly on the heels of several years of economic uncertainty—the folks at Candesic will be watching results closely, as they may well have a material impact on the firm’s fortunes in the years ahead.
About the Company
Nimble, efficient and practical are words that you might use to describe London-based consultancy Candesic. The privately owned company is a boutique practice in every sense of the word, anchored around 30 experienced consultants. This number doesn’t limit its expertise, however, as the firm is able to draw on the experience of a pool of around 150 independent experts and consultants from affiliate companies across 18 different cities in Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. Not a bad way to cut down on your overhead, especially when times are tough economically. Candesic only pays these additional consultants when it needs them, either on a part-time or full-time basis, and tries to optimize the use of its office space.
With over two decades of experience, the firm specializes in all subsectors...
