How long does it take to hire freelance consultants in Belgium?

Depending on the complexity of the profile, we typically present qualified candidates within a few days.

What is the difference between freelance and temporary work?

The difference between freelance and temporary work in Belgium mainly lies in the employment status and contractual relationship.

A freelancer is self-employed. They operate under an independent status (as a sole trader or through a company) and invoice their services directly to the client company. They are autonomous in how they organize their work and are not considered employees.

A temporary worker (interim) is an employee. They sign an employment contract with a temporary work agency, which assigns them to a client company for a fixed period. They benefit from employee social security protection.

How does a freelance contract work in Belgium?

A freelance contract in Belgium is a service agreement concluded between a company and a self-employed professional.

It typically defines:

  • The scope of the assignment
  • The duration (fixed-term or open-ended)
  • The daily rate (day rate) or hourly rate
  • Invoicing terms
  • Termination conditions
  • Confidentiality and non-compete clauses

Unlike an employment contract, a freelance agreement does not create a relationship of subordination. The freelancer remains autonomous in the execution of the assignment.

What are the fees of a freelance agency in Belgium?

The fees of a freelance agency in Belgium vary depending on the type of assignment, its duration, and the level of expertise required.

Generally, freelance agencies operate under two main models:

  • Margin included in the daily rate : The agency adds a commission to the freelancer’s day rate. The company pays a global rate without administrative complexity.
  • Fixed fees or a percentage of the daily rate: The commission usually ranges between 10% and 25% of the daily rate, depending on the level of support provided (sourcing, screening, contracting, follow-up).

No Small undertaking for Big Pharma

With the world on tenterhooks hoping that a vaccine will be developed to prevent people becoming infected with the COVID-19 virus, the role of global pharma companies – and the talented life sciences professionals they employ – has never been more crucial.

AstraZeneca, the British multinational recently reached an agreement with Europe’s Inclusive Vaccines Alliance (IVA) to supply up to 400m doses of the University of Oxford’s COVID-19 vaccine at no profit. Swiss giant Novartis also committed to donating 130m doses of hydroxychloroquine to support the pandemic response.

Specialist skills in Life Sciences

According to the Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo), pharma giants have seen their recruitment increase significantly. This has spawned demand for a wide range of specialist skills and life sciences jobs, especially in pharma R&D for specialist clinical research associates (CRAs) or pharmaceutical scientists who work on the drug development and design process.

Another important role is that of the clinical trials pharmacist, overseeing open studies as part of the delivery of a service that has to comply with the strictest legal and ethical standards. There are also widespread opportunities for manufacturing associates, project managers and quality control supervisors.

Interestingly, the sector has become a hotbed for tech talent in wake of the widespread adoption and scaling of digital technologies. A survey carried out by Swiss multinational Novartis found that nearly half the tech professionals surveyed (49%) would consider switching to healthcare or pharma. Almost the same number (48%) were drawn to the life sciences sector because of the opportunity to solve real world problems.

Attracting top Pharma talent

Yet despite COVID-19 and the sector’s current centre stage role, the pharma industry has been impacted like so many other areas of the economy, not least when it comes to attracting the best talent. Organisations must therefore focus on their talent attraction strategies, ensuring that they offer competitive rewards and benefits packages as well as the right environment for people to fulfil their potential.

The life sciences sector is a big contributor to GDP. In California alone it provides 1.4m jobs and $372bn of economic activity in 2019. And there continues to be lots of money pumped into the pharma industry. For example, the Cardiff Capital Region (CCR) will invest £1.2bn investment in a life sciences park that is planned in Croyton and which could create 2,000 jobs. Another park in Birmingham is also planned in Selly Oak.

The fight to find a vaccine for the Coronavirus will require continued investment in the right talent. And it will be these skills that will play such a pivotal part in ensuring that these companies can continue to provide the innovation and scale of drug production that will have such a critical impact on public health in the post-Pandemic world.
