OJC

Oliver James Consulting is a specialist secondment solution provider, supplying consultants on-shore & off-shore on a time & material basis.

We provide Transformation & Technology consultants that are truly SME’s in their field whose 100% focus will be on your business.

Our business model is unique; it fuses the best qualities of a traditional headhunting firm with those of a consultancy firm…though with none of the downsides.

Our costs are low with no compromise in quality and we boast a 94% contract completion rate.

OUR MISSION

To save our clients money on consultancy fees when implementing Change & Technology projects.

Why hire a consultant and when to use OJC

  • Cost-saving initiatives against mainstream consultancies

  • Finding niche and highly qualified consultants

  • You want a hybrid delivery model (specialized Management Consultancies intertwined with high-quality on-shore and off-shore resources)

  • You struggled to retain consultants from your current providers

  • You have high-priority and important projects and would like an alternative option on finding resources.

  • We understand that value is one of the most important factors for considering a staffing solution so we can ensure you that:

    Over 72% of our clients have reduced significant cost using our model without compromising any quality of skills

    The remaining 28% may not have seen significant reductions in cost but have experienced increased value through hiring a consultant who are true experts in their field and spend 100% of their time delivering to their projects

    Our way: We squeeze our margins so our clients pay less for the same quality of talent in mainstream consultancies.

  • We currently have more than 300 specialized Technology & Transformations consultants in APAC and we know how important it is for an organisation to keep the best consultant in project and for the supplier to ensure they are retained so we can ensure you that:

    We have a 94% completion rate over 900 consulting assignments

    Our way: We pay our consultants very well and incentivize them to complete their assignments through a simple yet effective pricing model which allows us to counter consultants who are tempted elsewhere mid project. This comes at no extra cost to our clients!

    Our way: We regularly conduct performance meetings with our Consultants and Clients to ensure the expectations of our consultants are always aligned

    Our way: We have a dedicated “Consultant care” team that ensures our consultants are treated like VIPs.

  • One of the advantages of engaging with OJC is that half our business globally is a Headhunting recruitment firm and we are proud of our heritage so we can ensure you that:

    58% of our new consultant engagements come from referrals and recommendations

    Our Consulting Director & talent attraction team are vertical market experts who are consistently headhunting and networking with the best talent available for consulting engagements

    Our way: Our global database and cross office partnerships spans across 3 continents and 13 OJC offices so that we are always able to find you a consultant not matter how niche your requirement is.

  • We understand the importance of retaining knowledge in your business so our model allows you take on our consultants permanently and we are supportive of this:

    Over 77% of our consultants are offered permanent positions with our clients at the end of the assignment

    As part of our internal onboarding procedures our experienced consultants are expected to upskill your staff when in engagement

    Our way: Unlike other consultancies we value how our partnership with you can grow even stronger when you hire an OJC consultant permanently

  • We understand how business critical time is when engaging with a service like ours so we can ensure you that:

    74% of our consultants onboarded have been an OJC consultant before

    All our consultants are rigorously vetted

    It takes us 48 hours or less to provide consultant profiles after a requirement gathering session

    And less than 2 weeks to onboard a OJC consultant (depending on your internal processes)

    Our way: Service experience is our number priority, we will not waste your time on resource requirements we can not deliver to or provide you consultants who are not vetted to deliver at the highest standard.

What projects would you use us for?

  • With a history in APAC going back 13 years and offices based in Hong Kong and Singapore, we are perfectly situated to support any projects locally with local talent. Through 2023, of 137 consultants seconded to HK or SG projects, 124 were based locally and working within our client’s offices. Of course if remote staff is your objective (to reduce costs or create a 24 hour a day project delivery solution) then we are set up and experienced to employ consultants in 146 countries.

  • Having weighed up the pros and cons of multiple countries for off-shoring we settled and committed solely on Malaysia: we believe it is the optimum solution, combining skill sets, language capabilities and price perfectly.

    Once decided on Malaysia there were still three components we needed to get right:

    Service

    We understand off-shore solutions are regional strategies so our Malaysia client team are based across Hong Kong, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur; this gives us the unique ability to develop relationships with your regional and local key contacts.

    Local talent

    Essential to make any off-shore center work

    Of the 75 consultants currently seconded on client site in Malaysia, 74 are Malaysia nationals.

    We have been mapping the Malaysia candidate market for nine years to prepare us, 98% of our talent pool are Malaysia nationals based locally.

    Reliability

    Once needs are understood and talent is identified, it’s essential that we deliver…and we do! Over 96% of our consultants convert from verbal acceptance to start date. This is down to a meticulous interview management process, a clear understanding of developing the relationship between consultant and client from the first time they meet and finally a well organised consultant care programme ensuring our people are being listened to and know events happening next.

    The attention is on the big topics while keeping a very close eye on the detail.

  • "OJC hired us a core PMO team to deliver for a crucial regulatory initiative…in an area where a BIG 4 competitor promised and fell short."

    Global Multi-line Insurer

  • "The OJ team were professional, listened to our needs and created a brilliant solution.  Simplicity at its best and saving us a fortune – thank you team!"

    Pan-Asian HK head-quartered Conglomerate

  • "OJC set up out R&D Data Engineering team in Malaysia for half of the cost offered by other consulting firms."

    Global Life Insurer

  • "OJC saved me 250,000 USD on an IT Lead"

    APAC Retail Conglomerate

  • "We’ve been operating in HK for decades, never before have we seen such a simple solution solve so many issues.  A genuinely unique offering beautifully crafted and delivered."

    HK Conglomerate

  • "Localized the entire IT Security framework, connected together with our head office by OJC’s New York office.  Great service, great price, great outcome."
