    Care actually elaborate and actually give some advice and context for a change. That answer is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

          No, not a big NO. But a big RESEARCH FIRST.

              Because they solve an immediate issue that their own resources and recruitment cannot fill.

              And it happens all the time

                  depends what the consultancy wants. It can just be a bum on a seat using Excel for them to charge at £1000 a day...

                    Because they have some of the technical skills and lots of the interpersonal skills.

                      Along with the other suggestions made, I would add:
                      ...because they are cheap
                      ...because they fit the model of many consultancies - sell the client your top guys, then at the end of the first week/month, move them off site and move less competent/cheaper people in, who will take longer (meaning bill more) and deliver less (meaning bill more)
                      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore
