How our retingency approach addresses recruitment challenges:
Upfront Costs
Expanding in Begium often requires a specialist recruiter, but traditional retained models ask for upfront costs before results. With our Retingency service, you get all the benefits of a retained search (dedicated account manager, headhunting, strategy) but only pay when we deliver a successful placement.
No financial risk. No compromise on quality.
Lack of Candidate Insights
When hiring in a new country like Belgium, guessing isn’t an option. That’s why we include behavioural assessments in our process at no extra cost. It gives you deeper insight into how a candidate thinks and works, helping you avoid costly mis-hires and make better decisions, backed by data, not just CVs.
Continuity
Many contingency recruiters focus on volume, not value, especially across borders. We take a different approach. With Retingency, you get a dedicated account manager and a team who have a deep understanding of your industry and goals. We’ll align closely with your needs and deliver culturally and commercially suitable candidates across Belgium.

Frequently Asked Questions About Recruitment in Belgium
Find answers to common questions about technical sales and engineering recruitment in Belgium. Our FAQs explain how Mase Consulting helps employers attract high-performing professionals and supports candidates navigating this multilingual and innovation-driven market.
We recruit professionals across mid to senior levels in both technical and commercial disciplines. This includes Sales Engineers, Product Managers, Service Engineers, Technical Managers, Business Development Managers, and Engineering Directors across industrial automation, process control, electronics, and manufacturing sectors.
Belgium’s biggest hiring challenge is its multilingual, regionally divided workforce. Employers often need candidates fluent in Dutch, French, and English — a rare combination, especially in customer-facing technical sales. Additionally, engineering shortages persist in key sectors like chemicals, machinery, and logistics technology, where demand far exceeds supply.
It’s extremely competitive. With unemployment among engineers sitting below 2%, many professionals are already employed in secure, long-term roles. This means proactive headhunting, strong branding, and competitive compensation are essential for attracting talent.
Most roles take between 6 and 10 weeks to complete. We typically deliver a qualified shortlist within 7 to 14 days. However, complex roles requiring trilingual skills or niche technical expertise may extend timelines.
Belgian professionals value job security, fair compensation, and an employer who respects work-life balance. They expect clear communication and structured career progression. Transparent leadership and tangible benefits like meal vouchers, company cars, and flexible hours are often deciding factors.
Our Salary Benchmarking service provides precise, localised pay data segmented by region and language. It helps employers set competitive offers, especially in sectors where salary norms differ between Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels.
We combine local insight with international reach. Our consultants understand Belgium’s multilingual market and tailor searches by region and language to ensure clients receive qualified, culturally aligned candidates.
Yes. We regularly support global firms expanding into Belgium, helping them hire their first Sales Engineer, Service Engineer, or Country Manager. We also advise on regional employment nuances and compensation expectations.
Belgium’s recruitment environment is uniquely complex because of its three languages, three regions, and diverse industries. A candidate who thrives in Ghent may not fit seamlessly into Liège or Brussels. Success here relies on understanding cultural differences, tailoring communication, and offering flexibility to appeal across linguistic lines.
Yes — it’s one of the biggest hiring challenges in Belgium. The country’s split linguistic landscape means most candidates are fluent in either Dutch or French, but not both. Adding English proficiency (often required by international employers) narrows the pool even further.
Trilingual professionals who can manage customer relationships across Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels are in high demand, especially in technical sales and key account management roles. These candidates often receive multiple offers and expect competitive packages.
Employers who offer flexibility — such as regionally focused roles, hybrid setups, or bilingual customer coverage models — are more successful at securing top talent without limiting themselves to a tiny trilingual candidate pool.
Benefits carry significant weight in Belgian recruitment. Candidates often evaluate the total package, not just base salary. Common expectations include meal vouchers, eco vouchers, company cars or allowances, insurance, flexible hours, and hybrid work options.
For many technical sales and engineering professionals, a company car remains one of the most decisive benefits — particularly for roles that involve frequent travel between regions. Pension contributions and extra leave days are also valued highly.

Standing out in Belgium’s compact but competitive talent market requires clarity, authenticity, and speed. Employers that succeed tend to:
Clearly outline career development and training opportunities — Belgian professionals value long-term stability and upskilling.
Communicate in the candidate’s preferred language and adapt their tone for each region.
Move quickly — delayed interview feedback is a major reason candidates accept other offers.
Promote company culture, not just the job title. Engineers and technical salespeople are drawn to businesses that demonstrate purpose, innovation, and respect for work-life balance.
Even small improvements — like a personalised hiring approach or locally adapted job descriptions — can make a significant difference when competing against larger, established employers in Belgium’s limited talent pool.
