Our offer

Projective Talent is part of Projective Group, but we don’t do things the typical way. We’re not a recruiter. We’re not just a consultancy. We’re a launchpad for ambitious minds. You’re in the driver’s seat of your career, and we’re here to support your journey.

Here’s what you can expect from us:

• We offer a competitive salary and a flexible mobility budget (yes, including the option of a company car or bike leasing). You’ll also get meal and eco vouchers, an individual training budget, and bonus opportunities—because we believe great work should be rewarded.
• You’ll enter one of our Smart Programmes, based on where you are in your career and where you want to grow.
• Based on your skills, your ambitions, and your personality, we’ll look for the right client match together.
• You’ll be coached throughout the journey by your very own Talent Development Officer, someone who’s genuinely there to help you thrive.
• We promise you’ll never feel like you’re on your own. Expect regular learning sessions, social events and a close-knit community that always has your back.
• After two years of growth, learning and real impact, you’ll have the chance to join your client permanently. But don’t worry, we’re looking forward to welcoming you at one of our regular alumni events.
