An interview with Ian de Snoo
What attracted you to Project One?
I joined Project One to be able to operate truly as a client-side advisor, to put the client first and to be empowered to ‘do the right thing’. Having experienced delivery of consulting services within highly regulated environments, I was attracted by the freedom to deliver client work without such constraints.
Has it lived up to expectations?
Without a doubt. The recruitment process enabled me to get a good idea of what to expect and I was not disappointed. It’s pretty straightforward really, no surprises, it does what it says on the tin!
What sort of person should join Project One?
Working at senior levels you will need to utilise all the experience and knowledge you have gained and built-on over the years. You will be supported by your Account Director and Project One colleagues but will be empowered from the outset to stand on your own two feet and deliver at a high level.
An interview with Steve Calder
What attracted you to Project One?
A new challenge. I liked the ‘feel’ of the company from the first conversation with the recruitment lead.
Has it lived up to expectations?
Yes – I have been fortunate to have worked with two great clients since I started – one local to me in the UK and one in Belgium. I have enjoyed having the freedom to just focus on delivering with the client – minimal overheads and total support from across the Project One business.
What sort of person should join Project One?
Those that are passionate about delivery – working directly with client businesses to make a difference and add value to what they do.
An interview with Situl Shah, Consultant
What attracted you to Project One?
I wanted to join a highly ethical, values based company that puts its clients and employees first, and would utilise my experience and expertise to help clients overcome their complex digital challenges.
There is a genuine desire to support each other and be open to new ideas, with the backing of a strong culture of collaboration, encouragement and being part of something special!
Has it lived up to expectations?
Project One has been very supportive in all activities and client engagements, with a strong focus on collaboration that has led to some very interesting assignments.
Additionally, the company has a diverse and inclusive workforce that respects each other. This is very important from a moral and ethical view.
What sort of person should join Project One?
Anyone considering joining Project One should have a passion for driving transformation and leave their egos well behind! There is a strong team of professionals across the organisation, willing to help where needed, with a sense of pride in doing the right thing for its clients, employees and stakeholders. This hands-on style, combined with deep experience, has been one of the company’s crucial factors for success.
An interview with Fabrice Rodrigue, Consultant
WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO PROJECT ONE?
I was familiar with Project One having a number of ex-colleagues and friends join and tell me about the company over the years, so it had been on my radar for a while. That aspect filled me with confidence in terms of calibre of individuals that were hired by Project One. What eventually clinched it for me was the genuinely friendly and competent people I met throughout the interview process and the model Project One operates under.
HAS IT LIVED UP TO EXPECTATIONS?
The Account Directors took it upon themselves to find the ‘right’ first opportunity and showed a lot of care and consideration along the way. There is genuine concern and appetite to make individuals successful and thrive, it’s a very nurturing environment.
WHAT SORT OF PERSON SHOULD JOIN PROJECT ONE?
Project One suits individuals that have a long delivery track record as most, if not all, colleagues have a considerable top tier consulting or big 4 background. It will suit independent, experienced and personable individuals who will genuinely thrive in complex transformation programmes, who enjoy challenging client settings and who are fiercely self-reliant.
An interview with Steve Bass, Consultant
WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO PROJECT ONE?
I was attracted to Project One by their reputation and people. Throughout the interview process I met some really experienced and highly motivated individuals who worked collectively as a team. The approach of Project One matched my career goals, that is to deliver great work for great clients within a highly-experienced team that values individual contributions.
HAS IT LIVED UP TO EXPECTATIONS?
Yes. I have worked with one client so far in a small team. I have engaged with the wider team on several occasions and was very impressed with the annual gathering where we shared plans, views and provided our input to the way the business runs.
WHAT SORT OF PERSON SHOULD JOIN PROJECT ONE?
People that have deep experience, can work alone or as part of small teams, and who are not afraid of hard work. Change professionals in short.
