Our Graduate Recruitment Stages

Please note the process steps listed below are shared for your general understanding of our evaluation methodology and are purely indicative. Actual evaluation process may vary based on aspects such as the position and its requirements.

You will begin by completing a short form to confirm your expectations and alignment with our Graduate Program intake. This step helps us assess early compatibility and ensure the role is the right fit from the start.

If your expectations align with ours, you’ll be invited to complete a 30-minute online assessment. This assessment evaluates your project management knowledge to confirm you have the foundation to succeed in our Graduate Program.

After successfully completing the assessment, you’ll have a 30-minute conversation with one of our Talent Acquisition Officers. This is your opportunity to share your experience, education, interest in project management, and motivation for joining Seven. We’ll also provide insights into our culture, benefits, and answer any questions you may have.

Next, you’ll attend a one-hour interview with a senior consultant or leader. This stage focuses on situational questions to assess how you demonstrate our core values: teamwork, transparency, and delivery, and fit within our high-performing culture.

You’ll participate in a group assessment with 2–3 other Graduate applicants. Together, you’ll complete three team-based activities while being evaluated on collaboration and other key criteria.

You’ll complete three assessments:

• Revelian Cognitive Assessment – measures cognitive ability

• TTI DISC Behavioural Assessment – evaluates personality and behaviour

• TTI EQ Assessment – assesses emotional intelligence

The final stage is a 60-minute interview with our Graduate Program Lead, focusing on your fit for the role and your alignment with Seven’s culture and ways of working.

If you progress beyond the interviews, we’ll request professional and educational references to validate your experience and gain insights from those who have worked closely with you.

What Our Graduates Say

What makes the program one of the best is both the challenging and nurturing aspects of it, by allowing the graduates to test their limits and deepen their knowledge while having the best delivery professionals in the field as support. Besides relearning project management fundamentals, we had opportunities to engage, learn, and assist leading delivery professionals, which allowed us to build a foundation of knowledge based both on experience and theory. Additionally, we had opportunities – ones I didn’t expect to have – to apply these fundamentals into actual project outputs, paving the way to learning tools essential for project delivery (e.g. Jira and MS Project) and work shadowing opportunities. In my first role, I was tasked to assist a project manager in updating project governance documents, to provide updated governance processes and standards essential for delivery. With that said, Seven’s graduate program exhausts all possible sources for us graduates to fully grasp aspects of successful project delivery, while adhering to Seven’s core values.

Julia Justo, Senior PMO Consultant
Syed Saad

The Graduate Program at Seven is a great opportunity for anyone who’s looking to gain valuable experience in Project Delivery and PMO roles. Being the first class of graduates at Seven, we spent the first couple of months learning fundamental project management concepts and methodologies, working on our hard and soft skills and engaging in numerous training and mentoring sessions with senior consultants as well as with the CEO. To say the least, it was steep learning curve, with constant challenges and assessments, but it really paid off when we were sent out to work on real projects.

It was 3 months after starting at Seven when I was assigned my first project at AMP Life, where Seven was engaged to help uplift the delivery PMO for their Separation portfolio. I was working alongside two senior consultants which was extremely helpful since I got the right level of support and guidance to help me fulfil my responsibilities and make sure I was delivering to the required standard. Most of work was around creating new templates for the delivery team which included the PMP, Business Case and PIRs as well as optimising the existing processes for Change Control and Risk Management etc. I was also responsible for creating a Finance Tracking tool for the portfolio with embedded dashboard capability which was expected to be the single source of truth for portfolio financials to help with reporting of KPIs such as ETC, EAC and Variance. Upon positive feedback, I was asked to create a similar tool for Resource tracking to assist with better forecasting and enabling transparency regarding over and under allocations.

Although there many lessons to be learnt, the biggest one was to make sure that we understood the problem that we were trying to solve, the value that we were expecting to derive from the solution, and having necessary controls in place to help gauge and track the team’s performance as we progressed.

After close to 15 months in the company and having worked with 4 different clients, I can proudly say that Seven was the best choice that I could have made to start my career in Project Management and I’m extremely grateful to the leadership and the whole team for their immense support throughout this journey.

Syed Saad, Senior PMO Consultant

Seven Consulting is a great company with a big presence In the tech consulting space. I really enjoy working for the company as I believe in their values and can see a bright future for myself here. I am grateful that Seven places such an emphasis on my personal and professional development which is extremely dear to me.

The graduate program I recently completed was very well structured in terms of the learning takeaways. Cathy who led the program has a fantastic ability to lead and instruct individuals. I have taken away more from this program than I have in my University studies and have been able to successfully apply this on my engagements. The activities were well designed and covered the main aspects that a PMO is responsible for. I would highly recommend this program for any new starters to the project management world who want to get a kickstart on their career.

Marianne Dinsay

Working with Seven Consulting has been a constant journey of growth and development. The Graduate Program was a great start for me as it introduced and immersed me in project management concepts and disciplines that I am able to take with me in client engagements. I had minimal background in project management, but I was provided tips and tools by wonderful people who were responsive and willing to help in any way they can with whatever I needed. The best part is that I got to go through this program with like-minded and fun individuals. Whether it be working on deliverables together or playing a round of games after a day’s work, my batch of graduates was a great support system throughout the program. Overall, it was a challenge, but definitely not impossible with all the guidance I was given.

The quality of the graduate program at Seven consulting was a major reason for my decision to join them at the start of 2022. The amount of individualized training and development I received particularly during my first 6 months I believe is unrivalled in any other project management consultancy. Whether it’s the founder having weekly catch-up with the graduates or the thought leader celebrating and wanting pictures of my graduation. Seven has quickly provided an environment that supports and fosters learning and where I feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes.

While Seven consultants are spread out across several different industries and companies’ social events were held every few months helping me to feel a part of the team and get to know the other consultants. I am very appreciative of all the development that I’ve had here at Seven consulting. I would encourage anyone who is interested in this type of work to explore what opportunities are available.

The Graduate Program has been an incredibly enriching journey. It deepened my knowledge of the industry and practice while being supported by the best delivery professionals in the field. The structured timeline of the program provided me with a comprehensive and well-rounded learning experience that ensured I have a good foundational background in key concepts and practical learning. The readings and exams reinforced theoretical knowledge, while the activities and difficult scenarios offered hands-on practice and real-world application. We also had opportunities to shadow other consultants in their work and received training on essential tools like Jira, MS Project, Health Check, and Project Scorecard. I also appreciated that we had the opportunity to have sessions with Declan (Founder), Rob (Thought Leader), Cathy (QA Lead), and other keynote speakers from Seven Consulting. Engaging with these people throughout the program showed me how Seven truly embodies its core values of teamwork, transparency, and delivery. It is without a doubt that Seven is a great place to jumpstart one’s career.
