Overview. OnSiters provides services for the Buyers of consulting and professional service providers and the sellers of these services. The OnSiters site is for use by individuals, companies or organizations to identify, procure/hire and manage consultants by submitting outsourced needs/projects for suppliers and Affiliated Suppliers to provide competitive bids and proposals.

OnSiters provides reliable, proven methodology for specifying, identifying and managing outsourcing needs through a Web hosted technology combined with professional account managers and service representatives. OnSiters is a Supplier-funded business. There is no fee to submit a project and there is no obligation to hire an Affiliated Supplier identified through the OnSiters Inc.. However, a Buyer does have an obligation to respond to all inquiries related to their submitted project(s) and to the specific "Use of OnSiters" terms below.
