More than just another
ESG consultancy.

Fueled by values yet guided by a pragmatic approach, we are more than just another ESG consultancy.  We strive for real, meaningful change driven by experts who truly understand the stakes. The Overview Effect aims to mobilize the best sustainability professionals out there and empower them to have greater impact while increasing their freedom and happiness. Because we believe happy people deliver excellent work.

Stability or independence? You don’t have to choose.

It is an endless juggle: the comfort of employment vs. the freedom of entrepreneurship. But what if you don’t have to choose?

Are you stuck in a corporate consulting job?

You’re probably familiar with office politics and bureaucracy. Or feel that you have limited growth opportunities and little flexibility to determine what your ideal work life looks like and which projects you want to work on.

Going at it alone as a freelancer?

Good for you! But let’s be honest: it can be lonely at times. Especially in the field of sustainability, always swimming against the current. You might be missing project variety and a team for more impact and knowledge sharing. Or losing too much billable time on acquisition and administrative burdens.

Working as a sustainability manager?

You could be curious to work in other sectors, building upon your sustainability management experience? Or instead, you’d like to leverage your sector experience with other players in the market?

We combine the best of both worlds.

At The Overview Effect, we combine the best of both worlds: the comfort of a company and the perks of freelancing. We are not a traditional consultancy and more than a platform.

 

The comfort of being part of something larger.

  • A nice office at The Social Impact Factory in Amsterdam and flex desks in Utrecht.
  • Network, social connection, and fun activities.
  • You can fall back on a team for extra capacity and/or broader expertise when needed.
  • You have the possibility to staff juniors for execution and/or larger teams for clients.
  • Benefit from joint positioning, proposition marketing, branding, events, and track record: resulting in more interesting work and higher rates.
  • Administration and client billing are taken care of, as are IT and work insurance.

The perks of freelancing, with something extra.

  • The flexibility to determine what your ideal day/week/month/year looks like workwise.
  • The freedom to choose to work on your own projects.
  • Higher earnings compared to employment in a traditional consultancy, with additional earning possibilities through sales.
  • Higher hourly rates compared to working solo, as we operate under a brand and as a collective.
  • No annual performance reviews, no unnecessary management, and no pressure from us as an organization.
