Employees are the key to success! That is why it is important to get acquainted in a short period of time, to find out if it is a match.

More about ConvidentAt Convident, we work with a spirited team of 12 employees and, the relationship with our employees is as valuable to us as our client relations. This is obvious with the four core values of Convident. As a consequence, there is a rather informal atmosphere at Convident, which leaves a lot of space. That is how our employees of the different departments can collaborate closely to deliver a balanced product. Besides that, we ensure that there is also enough space to relax and do fun activities together after working hours. That is how team outings and drinks on Friday afternoon contribute to the Convident feeling!
At the moment, working from home has increased due to the covid pandemic. Working from home can disrupt the balance between your work life and your home life. A disrupted work-life balance can result in stress and great discomfort.
At Convident, we attach great importance to your work-life balance. We will do anything to ensure lifelong health and inspiration so you can be sustainably employable, with an optimal work-life balance. That is why there is always the possibility to have a conversation within Convident when you notice you are losing the balance between your work and home life. Subsequently, we will find solutions to ensure you feel comfortable!
During the current global COVID-19 pandemic, there is a lot of work from home at Convident. Under ‘normal’ circumstances, we prefer to be sociable with our colleagues at the office. When you have tasted the environment at Convident, then you will not want to miss it! Although it might be possible that you would prefer to work (partly) from home. After discussion, this is possible. We would like to start a conversation with you to look at all the possibilities, where we keep in mind the work-life balance. To easily work from home, you can receive a laptop. Although this completely depends on your job position.
It is of course normal that you will have to adapt to a new work environment, so keep that in mind. During the first weeks at Convident, guidance is always possible when necessary. On Monday morning, we always start with a weekly meeting, where we discuss the schedule of the coming weeks. During this week you will work on brilliant projects with your colleagues. Sometimes this is within the department, you are a part of. Furthermore, you will quite often collaborate with colleagues in other departments so you can realise customisation for the clients of Convident. When the weather is nice, we spend our half an hour break on the balcony and, during colder weather we prefer to lunch inside. At the end of the week, on Friday, we close the week with a nice drink. And every so often, it happens that a colleague challenges someone else to an exciting game of FIFA or Formula 1.
Yes, that is certainly possible!
We give everyone the space to grow on a professional and personal level. We invest in you with, amongst others, training programmes, courses and KPI meetings. At Convident, we believe that different employees need different training programmes or courses to improve their personal development. That is why we do not have an outlined process of training programmes and courses, instead, we offer a customised option for the concerning employee. When an employee needs a training programme or course, we can always discuss what the most suitable arrangement is. A nice example is an online marketeer of ours that wanted to master the ins and outs of a Google Tag Manager. He notified us and through a partner of ours, we were able to realise an elaborate training programme. That is how we invest in a better and sustainable future together. Above all, there are a lot of career opportunities within Convident, which is also a part of our focus on sustainable employment.

At last, practical items can be discussed, such as, how many hours a week you want to work or other useful items, to discuss shortly.
A job interview is always fueled by reciprocation because at least two people are present during the job interview. The discussion is also interesting for you to see if the job position and Convident suit you. It can therefore be useful to prepare some questions that you can ask during the conversation.
These can be about the expectations towards you. For example: What do you expect of me? What is my role altogether? What do my daily work activities entail?
