The length of an assignment depends on several aspects: how long does the client need support, do you have enough challenge in your assignment,... On average, an assignment takes 6 months, but this can vary from one month to one year and a half or even 2 years.

Our consultants can always notify us of possible new opportunities they hear of in their network, at the client,... But it's not mandatory. Our managing partners are in charge of looking for new clients and assignments. However, if you do find a new assignment and we can assign this to one of our consultants for at least 2 months, you will receive a referral bonus.

Yes, we stay in close contact and offer guidance during your assignment. On a monthly basis, you'll have a check-in with your coach to discuss how you're feeling, how the assignment is going, if you need help with anything,... On top of that, you can also count on the knowledge and expertise of our Merito network and your colleagues.

We always keep in mind your expertise, interests and ambitions when looking for assignments. The region preference you have will also be kept in mind while looking for new assignments.

Merito is mostly known for its Hard HR expertise, but from time to time we can support our clients with Soft HR tasks as well. If you are experienced in these HR domains, you will certainly be considered for these assignments.

It can happen that two assignments are not perfectly aligned in timing. In this case, you will be able to assist in internal assignments or smaller ad hoc assignments, or you can follow additional trainings. In general, this period only takes a few days or weeks, and gives you the chance to broaden your knowledge. You'll be able to start your new assignment with a fresh mind.

Of course! We organize lots of trainings and activities to which all our consultants are invited. We also have a Whatsapp group to stay connected and in which we can share payroll advice.

Yes, this is certainly possible. At Merito, personal development is very important. Our annual training plan consists of at least 5 training days which are determined by the hot topics of that year, the payroll calender and social legislation. In case you find an additional interesting training, you can always apply for an individual training.

Based on your relevant HR experience and competences, we will attribute you a correct function category. This category will determine your base salary and the advantages that go with it. Merito offers a broad variety of advantages such as a company car, a collective bonus, meal and eco vouchers, hospitalisation and group insurance, home working and internet allowances, a phone subscription,...

At Merito we work in a 40 hours week, which means you are entitled to 1 day RWH. In addition to your 20 legal holidays, you will thus receive 12 days of RWH. As from your 5 years seniority, you will receive an additional holiday per trench of 5 years seniority.

This will depend on your assignment and client. Most of our clients agree to telework for consultants, if this is in lign with the policy they have for their own employees.

Merito has clients spread out accross Flemish Brabant, Antwerp and partly in Wallonia. We also have clients in Limburg, Brussels and Ghent. Our headquarters are located in Diegem and Berchem (Antwerp).

Our Merito consultants work at least 80% or full-time hours.

In case you have no challenge in your assignment, we will discuss this with the client to try and find a solution. If your situation does not improve afterwards, we will look for another assignment.
