How to Hire & Evaluate Learning Consultants
1. Define Your Learning Needs
Clarify project scope: What learning challenge are you solving? (employee onboarding, leadership development, compliance training, skills gaps). What deliverables do you need? (eLearning courses, workshop design, learning strategy, needs analysis).
Set success criteria: Timeline, budget, target audience, business outcomes expected. Remote vs on-site delivery preferences.
2. Review Consultant Portfolios
What to look for: Sample eLearning courses (visual quality, interactivity, instructional soundness). Variety of project types and industries. Measurable business results (engagement rates, performance improvement, ROI).
Red flags: No work samples or portfolio. Outdated design (pre-2020). Unable to articulate methodology or learning theory.
3. Interview & Assess Fit
Key interview questions: "Describe a learning program you designed from scratch. What were the business outcomes?" "How do you handle tight deadlines and changing requirements?" "Walk me through your needs analysis process."
Assess for: Communication clarity. Problem-solving approach. Stakeholder management skills. Technical depth. Cultural alignment with your team.
4. Start with Pilot Project
Why start small: Test work quality before full commitment. Verify communication style and collaboration fit. Identify any issues early (only 5% of Learnexus engagements have problems).
Pilot ideas: Single eLearning module ($2K-4K), needs analysis for one department ($3K-5K), workshop design ($2K-5K). Then scale to larger projects with confidence.
