In mutual agreement, we will define a budget that is reasonable for both you and the contractor of the research job.

Insights Wizards is an initiative of Wim Hamaekers, Dirk Van Kemseke and Jasper Scheir. Read here why we started with Insights Wizards and what we want to achieve.

• Quickly available: A lot of good self-employed (ZZP) market researchers are available on the short term.
• Quick results: Our freelancers are ‘can do ‘ people, who act quickly and get started right away. Other employees often go through a comprehensive onboarding process that can take weeks or months.
• Relevant experience: Our freelancers have a lot of experience, and our screening and coaching process ensures that you get exactly what you need.
• Also for part time functions. Perhaps you do not need a full-time employee, and you’d prefer interim assignments to achieve your goals within a limited budget.

We understand that budget can be an important criterion. Insights Wizards calculates a small markup on top of the daily rate of the freelance marketing researcher. If you give us a budget indication, we will search for the self-employed person who fits within the needs and budget of your Insights Department and if that is not possible, we will also explain why not and what is possible.

The daily rate of the freelancer reflects his experience. In comparison to the gross wage of a permanent employee, the freelancer himself is responsible for holidays, training, sickness, all costs and social contributions as included in the employer’s total employee cost.

• Insights Wizards only works with fellow market researchers that have an impeccable reputation.
• At the beginning of the assignment, the freelance market researcher draws up an NDA (Non-Disclousure Agreement) which lays down the obligations of the freelancer and specifies any penalties for non-compliance. You can use your own NDA, but we can also suggest a basic document. We are happy to help you determine what are reasonable requirements.
• We’ll only offer you freelancers who have not worked for a customer in the same combination of sector/geographic market for at least 3 months (non-compete).

No, we place our Insights Wizards exclusively on the customer side, in the marketing and/or research departments of companies.
