From temporary to permanent role

At contract-to-permanent, you work through us for two years for one client (e.g. ING, Eneco, KPN), with the intention of becoming a permanent employee afterwards. From day one you are part of the team and participate directly in the business. With us you follow a development program that matches your seniority and ambition, and you can spar with colleagues in similar roles.

With secondment you work on shorter assignments at different organizations. Then too, you are employed by Solid, receive salary and development guidance, but change environment, team and issue more often. This provides more variety and the opportunity to gain broad experience in a short period of time.

It very much depends on your background, seniority and where your interests lie. We have assignments within Finance, Risk, Data and IT. Together with the recruiter, we will map out where your interests and strengths lie and find a suitable assignment.

Yes, you follow a development program that we tailor to your experience, learning goals and assignment. You decide how much of that you want to utilise - that way you grow at the pace that suits you.

At Solid you will work on assignments at organisations within the financial, telecom and energy sectors. Think ING, Rabobank, KPN and Eneco.

We also work with organisations outside these sectors, as long as the assignment matches your experience and our way of working. This ensures that each assignment remains challenging and relevant to your growth.

You will be hired specifically for an assignment and meet with the team and your future manager beforehand. That way, you know exactly where you're going to end up before you start.

In the unlikely event that things don't work out, we will look for a solution. We remain involved and ensure that you work in an environment that suits you.

Yes, sometimes that’s possible. It depends on the organisation and the structure they choose. Some companies work with a contract-to-permanent setup, where you start through us and join the company permanently after two years.

The advantage of this route is that you’ll receive a development programme tailored to your experience and goals, plus guidance from a talent manager and access to a network of professionals in similar roles.

With recruitment & selection (permanent placement), you join the company right away. This gives you immediate connection with your new employer, but without the development programme and personal guidance you get through us.
