Why Choose Specific Impulse?

Specific Impulse Inc. is not a placement agency; we are a full-service information architecture firm. While you may choose an individual from among our pre-screened community of contractors, we stand by them every step of the way. We concentrate exclusively within our areas of expertise, with a professional team focused entirely on delivering these services:

• information architecture
• user experience and interface design
• usability testing and reporting
• web development and prototyping
• database and application design

Some of the benefits of working with Specific Impulse include:

Professionalism and Credibility

Clients aprpreciate that all of our contractors are proven experts in IA, UI/Uex, and web development. Each person has been completely vetted and interviewed, and most have conducted multiple Specific Impulse projects.

Contractor Relations: Employee Status

Working corp-to-corp with Specific Impulse ensures that you never need to worry about 1099 or employee relations issues like Worker's Compensation or Unemployment. We handle 1099 forms and for long-term staff, we handle the conversion to W2 status and pay all taxes and Worker's Compensation insurance.

Flexibility

We offer a great deal of flexibility in all dimensions: level of consultant experience, hourly rate, preferred status (1099, W2, corp-to-corp), number of hours available per week, and payment terms.

Contractor Payments

We pay our contractors on 30 days net, regardless of what our payment agreement is with you. This means that accounts payable issues never enter into the client-consultant relationship.

Non-Disclosure

We protect your intellectual property agreements by honoring non-disclosure and subcontractor agreements, and we further bind our team to non-disclosure and subcontractor agreements.

Liability Insurance

Specific Impulse maintains a $1M commercial liability policy from The Hartford.

Transitions and Holiday Coverage

When your consultant moves on, takes a vacation, or is otherwise unavailable, we have trained professionals available to replace or cover for them.

• Peer review and consultation with our community of experienced IA and UEX professionals.
• A shared pool of methods, standards, and wireframe templates.
• Online conferencing and collaboration tools, like GoToMeeting and GoToMyPC.
