Become a partner

Strengthening each other

Are you an independent professional looking to be part of a larger entity? Then Merlijn offers you the opportunity to become a partner of the Merlijn Groep, a network organization of independent professionals. Working at a top level within the warm atmosphere of a family-owned company.

As a partner, you collaborate with professionals without the hierarchical relationships of an employment contract. Together with other partners, you can develop new products that you can also use for your own company. Or you can utilize the extensive network to consult with colleagues or expand your knowledge.

In addition, together with us, you ensure that we can serve all of the Netherlands, making us attractive to large companies. And, with a new business partner, we are expanding our focus to Europe and Asia. This offers international opportunities and new perspectives in your career.

Merlijn consists of a management team, sales, and back office. All efforts related to brand awareness and lead generation directly benefit our independent partners.

Merlijn’s clients come from both the profit and non-profit sectors, including large and small businesses in trade, industry, and business services, as well as governments, semi-governments, and institutions in the healthcare and education sectors.

Practical benefits

• lead and sales support (website / social media)
• support from a collegial team of professionals
• opportunities for peer consultation
• participating in internal professional development (PE) days
• access to a database of teaching and background materials
• opportunity to train/advise in other Merlijn fields

What do we ask of you?

• you are certified for the tasks to be performed wherever possible
• you are a member of an industry association
• you are willing to share knowledge with colleagues.
• you contribute a percentage of the revenue generated through us

Becoming a partner means becoming part of the Merlijn Groep. This strengthens both the partner’s position and Merlijn’s position.

We are always open to collaboration with the most ambitious and people-oriented professionals in our focus areas.
We are looking for individuals who can bring new perspectives and life experiences to our offerings. We value curiosity, passion, a desire to learn, and we appreciate individuals who are both great thinkers and doers. We are committed to equal employment opportunities, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, disability, or gender identity.

10 Core Values

We believe it’s essential for the partners who join us to embrace and promote our philosophy. As we continue to grow, our focus on what we stand for becomes increasingly important. Who are we, and where are we collectively heading? To clarify this, we have documented our existing practices and ambitions in 10 core values. Read more in The Merlijn Manifest
