Yes. With Helion Research you choose which assignments to apply for, based on your own availability, and you decide how many you take on. That makes mystery shopping easy to combine with a job, studies or family. Each assignment does have a due date, and some have set days or times when the visit must take place.

How flexible is it?
- You choose the assignments. Apply on the Job Board for the ones that interest you and state when you are available.
- You choose how many. There is no fixed schedule. Take one assignment, or combine several.
- Short tasks. Most assignments take 15 minutes to 1 hour, plus a short online report.
- Some work from home. Phone and online assignments need no travel. See Mystery shopping from home.
What you do have to respect
- Due dates. Every assignment you accept has a date by which it must be completed.
- Visit times. Some assignments can only be done on certain days or at certain times. Always read the instructions carefully.
- Changes. If you can no longer complete an assignment, tell your Panel Manager straight away so it can be reassigned. A one-time extension is sometimes possible.
