Lots of Fortune 500 to 1000 companies lack the ability to recruit the best and brightest. And mostly they don't really need them. But when they do, consultants offer a ready made solution to get a project done.

These places farm companies with the “best and brightest” as well.

They sell a shortcut for management. Their asshole hired gun nature lets them short circuit the organization’s power structure. Not too many second layer executives are good at manipulating these consultants.
