Can I join the EQWAL community even if I am currently employed?

Will EQWAL support me in my self-employment?

We help you on your way to self-employment and support you with administrative questions. The administrative effort is reduced to a minimum by the services we provide you with.

What happens to my personal data that is collected and passed on as part of the selection process and the search for suitable engagements?

Data protection and confidentiality are top priorities for us. We handle your sensitive data responsibly. We collect your personal data and pass it on to our clients only if you have given us your consent.

Which companies will I be working for?

You will be assigned to companies of all sizes from different industries - whether start-ups, SMEs or large corporations. It is important for us that you are working based on your strengths and spend your time in engagements that inspire you. Only then will you be able to truly develop your skills.

How does EQWAL find suitable engagements for me?

Based on the information you provide and on your skill profile, we search for suitable client needs using our proprietary technology. As soon as we have found a suitable engagement, we will propose it to you. You then have the opportunity to get to know your potential future colleagues and company before you and the client make final decisions.

How do I prepare for the engagement?

As soon as you and the client have decided on starting an engagement, you are ready to go. We support you so that you are prepared for the engagement in the best possible way. Typically, you will receive a briefing from us that is specifically tailored to the specific tasks and company.

What is the purpose of feedback during and at the end of an engagement?

The mutual feedback helps us to develop you further and to optimize our services. This enables you to build your reputation and have reliable references from well-known companies. The feedback also helps us tailor our strength-based matching even better to your skills and interests. This increases your matching probability for follow-up engagements.

How do I handle disappointments or disagreements with the client company?

If you are not satisfied or disagreements arise during the engagement, please contact us directly and immediately. We are always available and will work to find a solution.

Will EQWAL secure suitable follow-up engagements for me?

Of course, we will do our best, and usually we succeed. We are at your side during your entire engagement and suggest suitable follow-up engagements as they arise. This allows you to fully concentrate on your current engagement. We take on all marketing and acquisition work for you, so you do not have to do this work yourself.

Can I be retained by the same client again after successfully completing an assignment?

We are happy whenever you and a client want to work together again. Whether a new engagement is possible without further steps depends on the individual circumstances of each case, due to compliance rules. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Please note that EQWAL will continue to be compensated by the company for your follow-up assignment up to a certain time period. This is necessary to be able to offer our model free of charge for you in the future. When you place a follow-up order, you will of course again benefit from our comprehensive service.

Can I be hired permanently by the same company after successfully completing the assignment?

Of course, this is possible. There are no restrictions for you. Depending on the details of each case, the client company may have to make a one-time referral fee payment to EQWAL, in line with industry standards and our client agreements.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
