At Solita Belgium, we’re taking a thoughtful approach to hiring consultants. You may have noticed some “talent network” job descriptions on our website, and we’d like to share what this means and why we’ve chosen this method.

We know that starting a new job with no project in sight can create uncertainty. Our goal is for our consultants to feel confident and engaged from the start—not sitting on the sidelines. While we’re committed to offering time for training and development, we believe the best growth happens when you combine training with projects.

The IT market is evolving rapidly, making it challenging to predict exactly when new projects will start. Instead of hiring consultants in advance and having them wait for a project, we’re adopting a just-in-time hiring model. This means we bring people on board when we have a project ready, so they can dive into meaningful work from day one.

A key part of this approach is making sure that nothing changes in terms of your contract or onboarding experience. Just like in proactive hiring, we offer you a permanent contract with all the benefits that come with it. The only difference is that we aim to have a clear, well-matched project lined up before you start, giving you immediate opportunities to make an impact.

This approach also benefits you as a candidate. By applying to our talent network, you get to learn more about Solita, discover our culture, get invited to events and wait for the project that’s the right fit. When we have a project that aligns with your skills and goals, we will immediately be in contact with you and you can decide if this is the right project for you.

Our shift towards project-based roles gives us more flexibility around start dates and lets us focus on building a long-term relationship with you. By joining our talent network, you’re choosing Solita for our culture and values—and for the chance to start your journey with a clear path forward.
