Tier 5 — Over-Employment Philosophy

We’re proudly Over-employment (OE) Friendly. We won’t interfere with your primary job or professional relationships.**

Why we think this is a better way to do employment:

  • The best talent is already employed.
    We believe top-tier professionals often have existing full-time roles with established benefits and tenure.

  • No need to disrupt what’s working.
    Joining Tier 5 doesn't require you to leave your current employer or sacrifice your benefits. Our model is built to respect your primary commitments.

  • You bring fresh, diverse experience.
    Your current role keeps your skills sharp. That perspective directly improves the quality of service we deliver—and benefits both Tier 5 and your main employer.

  • Lower costs, better results.
    Our OE-friendly model reduces overhead, allowing us to offer competitive pricing without compromising talent or deliverables.

  • Built for flexibility.
    Our services are based on fractional IT support and scheduled events, making them ideal for secondary roles with clear time boundaries.

  • We schedule around your availability.
    We coordinate dedicated work hours that fit your existing commitments.

  • A workforce that’s normally out of reach.
    This approach gives Tier 5 access to elite professionals, enabling a level of service that most independent consulting firms can’t match.

How we do this:

  • You set your contact preferences.
    During the application process, you can specify how you’d like to be contacted and if you prefer to work using just your first name (e.g., “John S.” in communications).

  • No employment reporting.
    We do not report employment to systems like The Work Number.

  • No employment verifications.
    We do not respond to employment verification requests—regardless of the source.

  • We work around your primary obligations.
    Your meetings and responsibilities come first. We only ask that there’s no conflict with pre-scheduled client sessions.

  • Secure, flexible access.
    All work is done through Azure Virtual Desktop, accessible securely from any modern web browser.

**We will make every reasonable effort to conceal your OE status. We cannot make guarantees how your current employer will react to OE status if they are to find out through us or external means.
