Meeting the client
We propose you for projects that fit. The client checks whether there is a match, and you get to know the project up close: its content and context.

FAQs
- Do I need a master's degree?
For most roles, yes. Around 90% of our projects ask for a master's level background. Graduates are welcome for a number of clients, so it is always worth checking with us.
- Can I switch to another role?
Yes. Consulting is built for that. Many consultants move toward QA or validation, for example. You will not spend ten years doing exactly the same thing.
- How much say do I have in my projects?
A lot. We propose concrete projects that fit your profile and preferences. You decide whether you are interested. Only then do we introduce you to the client.
- Where would I be working?
In and around Belgium's main Life Sciences hubs, primarily the Antwerp region and Ghent. The exact location depends on the project.
- Is remote work possible?
It depends on the client and the project. Many roles offer hybrid flexibility, and we look for a setup that works for you.
- How long do projects last?
Life Sciences projects tend to run for a long time, which gives you stability. Together with your Talent Manager you plan your next step well before a project ends.
