Frequently Asked Questions
The platform
Can I move my existing consultants and contracts onto the platform?
Yes — that's the core of Consivera. We take over your existing engagements: Consivera becomes the contracting layer, handling compliance, invoicing and payment. (Moving an existing contract is a contract transfer, so it needs the consultant's agreement — we run a short onboarding to make it clean.)
Do you only find new specialists?
No. The platform is built to run the workforce you already have. Sourcing new specialists is available as flexible extra capacity when you need more — but it's a feature, not the whole product.
Who holds the contract?
Consivera does. You run one contracting layer instead of managing separate freelancers or agencies. We contract with you and, separately, with each specialist.
How are specialists vetted?
Before anyone works through the platform, we verify liability insurance, proof of independent business, qualifications and GDPR compliance, and hold the documentation on file. These checks are re-validated for every engagement.
Pricing & invoicing
What does it cost?
An annual plan plus a transparent platform fee on top of the specialist's rate — from 5%, down to 3% on higher plans. See Pricing.
How does invoicing work?
You receive one consolidated invoice per engagement, with VAT handled correctly — including reverse charge for cross-border work within the EU. We pay each specialist separately.
Who carries the employment and compliance risk?
We do. Because Consivera holds the contracts and verifies compliance, the contracting, compliance and employment-related risk sit with us, not with you.
Coverage
Which industries do you cover?
Life Sciences is fully active today — medical writing, regulatory, clinical and biostatistics. More sectors are on the way.
For consultants
How do I join as a consultant?
Apply and complete compliance onboarding: verify your independent business, upload your liability insurance, and accept our terms. Once verified, we bring you into engagements when clients need your capacity.
How and when do I get paid?
Consivera handles invoicing on your behalf and pays you for completed work — you keep the agreed rate and skip the sales and admin overhead.
Data & security
How is my data protected?
Encrypted in transit and at rest, with EU data residency, role-based access and privacy-by-design. See our Security & Compliance page for details.
