The challenge
 

When the right engineer joins at the right time, the entire project moves forward.

Industrial projects are multiplying across Belgium, and so is the demand for highly specialized skills. Attracting the right talent requires anticipation, a clear understanding of the market, and a message that genuinely resonates with engineers and technical professionals.

Meet project deadlines

The right profile, hired at the right time, enables the project to progress according to plan and reach its milestones with confidence.

Relieve your teams

Every successful hire frees your employees from the responsibilities they had been taking on in addition to their own workload.

Reassure your clients

A complete and stable team builds confidence and strengthens long-term relationships with your clients.

Convince the best talent

The most sought-after engineers are willing to consider new opportunities, provided the offer speaks to their projects, ambitions, and professional growth.

The engineering talent pool in Belgium
 

A talent-short market

There are not enough engineers in Belgium to meet demand. Mobility is relatively low, while competition for qualified professionals remains high. Here is an overview of the market in a few key figures.

THE TALENT POOL
 

90.849

engineering professionals in Belgium, excluding IT and software profiles.

MOBILITY
 

4605ebb6-9c63-4d68-b30a-da5ee4a2812f8.638

changed employer within one year, representing a mobility rate of 9.5%. Nine out of ten engineers remain with the same employer.
DEMAND
 

61.829

engineering job vacancies were published in Belgium over the past twelve months 
DIVERSITY

A talent pool that remains relatively homogeneous, where flexibility plays a particularly important role in the career choices of female engineers.

Our method
 

Understanding your project first

A successful technical recruitment process starts long before the first conversation with a candidate. Our approach is built around three key stages.

4

Understanding your reality and speaking your technical language.

We come on-site, visit your facilities, and take the time to meet with your technical managers. While we do not claim to be engineers ourselves, we ask the right questions to understand your processes, tools, technologies, and the specific requirements of the role.

5

Providing market intelligence and a strategic perspective.

Using LinkedIn Talent Insights and Jobat Insights, we assess how many professionals genuinely match your requirements, where they work, in which regions they are located, and what their expectations are.

12

Approaching candidates and supporting them through to the finish line.

We proactively reach out to candidates with a compelling message focused on your project rather than simply presenting a job title. And because highly sought-after engineers can disengage from a process at any stage, we maintain momentum and close follow-up until the contract is signed.

 « Ces fonctions ont un impact direct sur la performance d’une entreprise. Et dans certains cas, disposer des bonnes compétences au bon moment peut même devenir un enjeu de survie. Notre rôle ne se limite pas à pourvoir un poste : il consiste à mettre en place la solution adaptée à l’enjeu : un profil clé, une équipe pour un nouveau site, ou un travail de fond sur l’attractivité. »

Benefits
 

What you gain

Interviews that truly make the best use of your time.
The candidates you meet have already been thoroughly assessed on their technical expertise, soft skills, and genuine interest in your company.
Well-informed decisions from the start.

You understand the realities of the talent market before the search even begins. Together, we can adjust the profile, compensation package, or scope of the role at the right moment, rather than after months of unsuccessful recruitment efforts.

A recruitment process that keeps candidates engaged.

The recruitment process is often a candidate’s first introduction to your company. What they want to understand is the project they will work on, the technologies they will use, and how they can develop their career. We invest the time to understand your environment so we can provide those answers from the very first conversation.

Access to a broader talent pool than your competitors.

We expand the search methodically. We continuously develop our candidate network, explore industries where skills are transferable, and look internationally when the required profile is not available in Belgium.

Our key sectors:      Aerospace      Construction       Industry & Manufacturing      Food & Beverage       Energy

Projects entrusted to us because they could not wait.

EMPLOYER BRANDING & INTERNAL MOBILITY

Safran Aero Boosters 


We support Safran Aero Boosters in strengthening its employer brand among engineering professionals through two key initiatives:

    • Attracting young graduates: participation in job fairs, as well as the organization of dedicated events including company visits and meetings with the CEO and management teams.
    • Encouraging internal mobility: launch of the Career Lunches initiative, giving employees the opportunity to discover different roles within the company and explore internal career opportunities.
EMPLOYEE VALUE PROPOSITION

Knauf Insulation 


During a period of international expansion, Knauf Insulation sought to transform its EPC team from a network of freelancers into a fully integrated team of experts.

We first worked on strengthening the company's Employee Value Proposition (EVP), then led recruitment campaigns across a scarce international talent pool while managing the legal and employment constraints specific to each country.




A PRODUCTION SITE DESIGNED FOR THE FUTURE

Safran Booster Components 


With Safran Booster Components, the Safran Group launched a state-of-the-art Industry 4.0 manufacturing facility. In this type of environment, technical expertise makes the difference, and every hire matters from day one.

We are supporting Safran in defining the HR strategy and vision of this new entity while simultaneously building the technical teams that will bring the site to life. A new milestone in our long-standing partnership with the Group.

INTERNATIONAL STRATEGIC PROJECT

John Cockerill  


For a major project within John Cockerill's water treatment division, around ten key positions needed to be filled, including process engineers, project managers, and a construction manager.

Rather than approaching recruitment role by role, we designed the hiring strategy at project level: identifying the required competencies, determining the right hiring sequence, defining the timeline, and building a compelling message to attract the right talent.
