Planning to Establish Your Business in Belgium? Van Havermaet is Your Ideal Partner in Finding Top Talent

Foreign companies expanding to Belgium often encounter a tight labour market for specific profiles. While the current economic climate may suggest otherwise, there remains a structural shortage of highly educated professionals. In Flanders, for instance, the list of occupations experiencing labour shortages continues to grow each year. That’s why it’s crucial to work with a partner who understands the Belgian market and can rely on a strong, locally rooted network.

Van Havermaet now offers Strategic Talent Sourcing & Talent Development services to support (international) clients in attracting and nurturing top talent. With years of experience, Sophie Bijnens and Jorinde Gijbels help identify talent and align it with your company’s needs and culture.

Whether you are searching for a CEO, Plant Manager, Financial Director, Controller, or HR Business Partner, Sophie and Jorinde specialize in filling executive and key management roles across various industries. Their expertise spans start-ups, established businesses, SMEs, and even multinational corporations.

Following an in-depth intake process—where company culture, values, and ambitions are key—they create a detailed candidate profile and tap into their extensive network to find the perfect match. You will receive weekly progress reports, keeping you informed and allowing for adjustments if needed.

Already have a candidate in mind but want to ensure a strong match in terms of competencies and cultural fit? We can assist with that as well. Through an assessment or development center, we evaluate both the candidate’s strengths and potential—not just their current skills, but also their ambitions, motivations, and values. Our clear and actionable insights empower both individuals and teams, strengthening your key players and, ultimately, your entire organization.

Your talent is in good hands with us!
