In 2003, Jan Malasek founded OnDemand Resources as an alternative to the traditional management consulting approach. As a former top tier consultant with AT Kearney, and executive for blue chip companies, Jan found that traditional consulting alternatives often did not meet the needs of specific clients due to the cost involved or a lack of subject matter expertise on consulting teams. Many times, companies look for a flexible resource that can be seamlessly integrated to support their staff with particular expertise, without needing a large consulting team. Jan began OnDemand Resources to change the way companies leverage professional resources with a focus in strategic procurement, supply chain management, and operations. OnDemand’s business model offers companies easy, fast, and flexible access to reliable, experienced independent professionals with deep domain expertise at a superior value.

The first step for us in any project engagement is to reach out to the partners in the OnDemand Professional Network™ that we think are a good fit. We will discuss the opportunity with you first, and will send you a high-level overview of the opportunity that describes the project scope, duration, location, and compensation. We will then seek your feedback to understand whether you believe this is an engagement for which you are qualified, available, and interested. If you do express interest in the engagement, we will have an in-depth discussion to determine whether your skill set is truly a match for the client’s needs. The next step is to submit your OnDemand Profile (no direct contact information) to the client for review.

Please note that we submit a very short slate of candidates for client review. Should the client express interest in your profile, we will ask you to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement with OnDemand Resources that protects our client relationship. We will then arrange a meeting for you to interview directly with the client. If you are selected for the project, we will contact you and will provide you with a contract directly with OnDemand Resources.
