Freelance jobs voor business en IT-consultants

Bo Belvedere Christensen:

I am given assignments that fit my experience and expertise

The first time I heard of ProData Consult, it was from a friend who had been a consultant for ProData for several years. Since I was looking to go freelance at the time, I applied for assignments through ProData.

In the recruiting process, my contacts with the consultancy house gave me the impression of a very systematic and professional firm. The process was surprisingly swift and there were no unpleasant surprises. Absolutely, ProData seemed like the right place to be associated with.

PDC worked very hard to find assignments for me, but I came in at a very inopportune moment, right at the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008.  There was not a lot of call for freelancers, but they still managed it after a brief waiting period. There have been several good offers since the first assignment.

It is my impression that ProData have good understanding of their clients and insight into their needs, which helps ensure that freelancers are given the right assignments in relation to their existing skills and experience. The operational set-up works very well, with a smooth reporting and feedback process, which I value highly.

Being affiliated with ProData has been very rewarding for me as a freelancer. I was able to use my special skills from the beginning, I have had exciting assignments for ProData clients and the house provides superb consultant events where you can expand your horizons and network with other freelancers.

I am delighted to recommend ProData as a leading consultancy house on the basis of the firm's proven professionalism.  As a consultant, this means that I am made aware of my strengths and my value; I am given assignments that fit my experience and expertise and all the administrative aspects work smoothly and can be dealt with swiftly.

Trine Meinert Ekknud:

The connection with ProData Consult is a distinct advantage

In January I chose to quit my full-time job in order to become a freelance consultant. I needed to be able to seek out the challenges and projects, that are good matches for me – and not just be a part of one company's pipeline. As a full-time employee you are not always the one best suited to accomplish a specific task. As a consultant I can take on projects where I get to exploit my talents in an optimal way.

But projects don’t grow on trees so I started uploading my resume to different IT consulting firms. ProData Consult was the first to call. I hadn’t expected anything this explosive: they were very attentive and had a very outgoing energy. Before I knew it I met with the HR Manager, who helped me refine my cv, to get the emphasis right. I was also introduced to the Sales Manager, who told me he would go out and ‘sell’ me straight away. A few days later I was in a meeting with my first client. The course of events highly exceeded my expectations!

It wasn’t ProData Consult that made me take the plunge into freelancing, but they make my dream possible. On my own I wouldn’t be able to get the big assignments, since the companies that I find interesting and who has the big jobs, are all hiring through consulting firms. The connection with ProData Consult is a distinct advantage, because their large customers provide me with my bread and butter. And I get to run my own small projects of interest on the side."

ProData Consult is the definition of professionalism

ProData is a super sales channel for me as a consultant! When I’m available I need an organisation that will back me up and promote my CV and sales staff that can make a difference. ProData Consult has that and more.

I’ve done business with ProData now for almost ten years. I’ve had a number of colleagues who’ve sold through ProData since 2002, and my first job for them came in 2003. As the years have gone by I’ve taken on more and more projects for their customers.

They really have a very well-oiled delivery machine running behind the scenes where there are people who will back me up and provide me with help and support, whether it’s a matter of invoicing, contracts or deliveries. Plus, they have a very professional HR department. The work they’ve done on my CV – it’s like product development! Now it really reflects my skills and makes it easier for their customers to understand exactly where I can help and where I can’t.

Their service represents excellent value for money, and their margin on the fees I earn is well-deserved.

ProData Consult is the definition of professionalism, and, of course, I’m very happy to be associated with them.

Billing works perfectly

found a six-month project. Things moved fast. I sent a CV on Monday, and I was called in for an interview a week later. On my way home from the interview, ProData Consult called to tell me it was a match. Three or four days later, I started on my very first project as a consultant.

My greatest fear as a new consultant was that I would have to get out there and sell myself, which I wasn’t interested in. Because I’m affiliated with ProData Consult, I don’t need to, because they’re established on the market and have a large client database. Another advantage is that billing works perfectly.

My main motivation for becoming a freelancer was that I wanted variety. Now I have the freedom to choose the projects I’m most interested in, which is in the area of transition and deployment. Of course, sometimes you only have a choice in theory, because you can’t afford to wait for a more exciting project. But so far, there has been a perfect match with the two projects I’ve done through ProData Consult.

Christian Jaspers:

Great precision and speed

I’m familiar with ProData Consult from both sides of the table – as a consultant and as a purchaser of consultancy services, and both have been really good experiences. ProData really has a finger on the pulse of the market, along with the ability to understand our needs and translate that into finding the right consultants with great precision and speed.

ProData’s tools and infrastructure are also among the best on the market, and in my experience, their processes are designed for maximum efficiency and speed.

But most important of all is the excellent communication with everyone in ProData’s organization I have had contact with.

Mads Juul Jacobsen:

A fantastic network

I was employed at a small consultancy, where I was in dialogue with Jan Wolff from ProData Consult about using my former employer as a subcontractor for some projects. Shortly afterwards, my company closed down its project management function, and I was let go. It happened on a Friday. Jan Wolff called on Monday and offered me a project.

The greatest advantage to being affiliated with ProData Consult is their fantastic network! I would never have gotten my most recent project on my own. ProData Consult has tons of framework agreements, which is pure gold for a freelancer like me.

So far, ProData Consult has found project that are a good match for me. I also appreciate the regular dialogue about and during the projects – and that we don’t only speak together when there’s a project they want to sell me on.
