Common questions

Frequently asked questions

By joining the network am I applying for a role with Solution Architects?

The intention of the network is to connect exceptional architecture talent with the organisations that need them. In some circumstances this may be through Solution Architects; in others it may be directly with the organisation, depending on the needs of both the organisation and the architect. You are under no obligation to accept any role we may identify as a good match, and you may choose not to be considered for employment opportunities.

Are you a recruiter?

Solution Architects’ core business is architecture consulting. We do recruit to fill consulting roles, and we can also assist clients in identifying talent with very specific skillsets, permanent talent, or talent that may not fit the architecture-as-a-service model, for example part-time. We request your CV for verification and interview processes if needed, but at no point is any CV shared with a client without your prior approval.

Will my membership guarantee me offers of employment?

No. Depending on your membership level and capability, SA may contact you about opportunities to support client and SA architecture delivery needs. You will be under no obligation to accept any role.

What is the SA Academy and how will it help me?

The SA Academy is SA’s hub for courses, training and coaching. SA maintains its architecture quality assurance through the Academy, and it also underpins the Architecture Practice Support engagements we run with clients.
