Journey of an IT project manager (formerly with another umbrella company)
My path to real autonomy as an IT project manager with Kaiporting
Hello, my name is Sophie and I have been an IT project manager for more than ten years.
I have led digital transformation projects for companies in banking and industry, first on a permanent contract, then through umbrella employment with a traditional company.
Umbrella employment had already won me over with its simplicity: I could choose my assignments while keeping employee status.
But I quickly realised that not all umbrella companies are equal.
The limits I faced before Kaiporting
- Non-transparent management fees: I regularly discovered additional costs, which made it hard to forecast my income.
- Minimal support: no help negotiating my daily rate, finding assignments or managing transitions between projects.
- Poor responsiveness: answers to admin questions sometimes took days.
- Feeling like “just another file”: little listening, little personalisation.
I wanted a real partner, able to offer more than just an administrative framework.
What I found at Kaiporting
When I discovered Kaiporting, I realised umbrella employment could go much further.
Here’s what I gained:
- Clear, transparent management: no hidden fees, detailed monthly follow-up and accurate simulations before each assignment. I know exactly what I receive, to the euro.
- Personalised support: the Kaiporting team helped me showcase my project leadership skills and reposition my offer with large-account clients. Result: my daily rate increased by 15%.
- Better stability: I receive my salary on a fixed date, even if my client is late paying. No more cash flow stress.
- Real autonomy in choosing my assignments: today I work on cloud and ERP transformation projects that match my aspirations, while keeping the security of an employee framework.
Final words
I had already tried umbrella employment, but Kaiporting showed me another dimension: that of a true career partner.
More autonomy, more clarity and more peace of mind.
