Do you want good consultants or cheap consultants.

If you want both, you may be lucky, but I guess you will not.

Also, when asking for an "embedded consultant" without any qualification of what you want done, you will get a flood of offers from a ton of people it will cost you dearly to get (worse than) nothing from, in case you choose them.

If you REALLY want a quality product, be more than specific in what you need and offer a decent rate.

I can think of several thousand cases where even a good "embedded consulatnt", will miserably fail because his experience with the product/processor/... you want will be zilch.

Picking a consultant is not a matter of advertising,but a matter of knowledge.

If you(r company) have no experience in embedded whatsoever, I would suggest hiring a consultant to select the consultants for your project.
