A flexi-job isn't an alternative to your permanent team, it's a supplement for specific moments. Five situations employers often turn to it for.

1. The weekend that suddenly turns out busier than planned

An extra event nearby, nice weather, a promotion that does better than expected. The regular schedule is no longer enough, but signing a new contract for just one weekend is overkill.

2. Seasonal peaks that return every year 

The end-of-year rush, stocktaking, a harvest or festival period. Predictable in timing, but too short to hire someone permanently for.

3. A colleague's short-term absence

A day of illness, a leave request no one saw coming. For short, unforeseen gaps, a flexi-job is often quicker to arrange than a contract through temporary employment.

4. Events, trade fairs or temporary projects

Extra hands for a trade fair, an opening, a pop-up. Clearly defined in time, with a clear end date.

5. Testing whether a role will be structurally needed long-term

Wondering whether a peak is a one-off or the start of a structural need? A flexi-job gives you time to figure that out, without committing right away.
