Experienced Experts for a Changing World of Work

Working life does not end at retirement – and expertise does not disappear. Humak Experience Pool enables the flexible use of former Humak experts for project-based needs.

What is the Humak Experience Pool?

The Humak Experience Pool is Humak’s model for continuity. It brings together our retired experts, those who have transitioned into entrepreneurship, or those who have moved on to other roles but wish to continue working on a project basis and on their own terms.

The organization can maintain connections with its experts even as their careers evolve – expertise can continue to thrive in new roles and collaboration can continue through a partnership model.

A Fast and Reliable Expert Resource

In expert organizations, situations arise where experienced professionals are needed at short notice. Through the Humak Experience Pool, our partners and clients gain access – without recruitment delays – to reliable experts who are already familiar with Humak’s ways of working.

Collaboration is flexible, onboarding is quick and additional experts can be engaged as needed.

Value in Three Directions

  • For the expert: an opportunity to apply one’s expertise and experience in a new life situation – as a retiree, entrepreneur or during a career transition.
  • For the client or partner: immediate access to experienced professionals who understand the context and share compatible values.
  • For Humak: continuity and retention of expertise even as career paths change.

Humak Experience Pool

Humak Experience Pool members are flexibly available for Humak’s expert services.


They can work as project-based experts, trainers, supervisors, mentors, or development partners – on a part-time or fixed-term basis, or as entrepreneurial partners.
