Why Hire Local Talent in Belgium?
Building Trust
Over 80% of Belgian companies prefer to work with businesses that have a localised presence. A local team builds credibility, removes language barriers, and shows long-term commitment to the market.
Growing Revenue
Hiring professionals with local knowledge allows you to tap into established networks, navigate complex buying processes, and spot new opportunities ahead of your competitors.
Retaining Relationships
With in-country support and service engineers, you can respond quickly to issues, build trust through aftercare, and create strong customer relationships that drive repeat business.
Our Recruitment Models
Every company’s hiring needs are different, so we’ve designed three flexible recruitment models — all built on the same collaborative approach. Whether you need support with a single vacancy, a retained search for a critical hire, or a dedicated talent acquisition partner, each model gives you the expertise, transparency, and results Mase Consulting is known for.
Retingency Recruitment
- Consultative and collaborative approach
- Proactive sourcing of active and passive candidates
- Market mapping and headhunting services
- Dedicated account manager

This is a flexible, non-committal way to work with us. It combines the consultative approach and headhunting of a retained partnership, but with the pay-on-success model of contingency recruitment, meaning you only pay when a placement has been made.
Ideal for employers who want to fill a role, but aren’t ready to commit to a full retained partnership. Whilst this does not include some of the added features and benefits of our other recruitment models, it still provides you with access to our expertise, extensive network and tailored approach.
Retained Recruitment
Everything in our Retingency Model, plus:
- Candidate Behavioural Assessments for final-stage candidates
- Salary Benchmarking
- Discounts on recruitment fees applied
- Personally led by our Recruitment Director, who has over 24 years of success delivering niche and challenging hiring assignments.

A staged payment model, led by our recruitment director, that secures dedicated support for your role. The total fee is split into three equal instalments, one-third to initiate our services, one-third on CV shortlist, and the final one-third upon offer acceptance. Should the chosen candidate fail to start the final one-third would be refunded.
Ready-to-go Talent Acquisition Team
Everything in our Retingency Model, plus:
- Candidate Behavioural Assessments for final-stage candidates
- Salary Benchmarking
- Higher discounts on recruitment fees applied
- Personally led by our Recruitment Director, who has over 24 years of success delivering niche and challenging hiring assignments.
- Dedicated recruiter(s) working exclusively and solely on your hiring projects
- Weekly activity reports and progress updates
Read More
We act as an extension of your internal talent acquisition team, supporting you through periods of planned or unexpected recruitment demand.
Our time is booked and paid for in six-week increments, during which we allocate dedicated internal resources, including team members who work solely and exclusively on your hiring needs.
Recruitment fees are paid in addition on any successful hires; however these are heavily discounted compared with our standard terms, and you’ll receive detailed weekly activity reports showing the number of CVs reviewed, candidates contacted, interviewed, and submitted. This partnership can be extended, allowing us to continue covering multiple roles in line with your priorities.
Ideal for businesses in periods of high growth, but without the time or budget to increase their own internal hiring team.
Why Hire Local Talent in Belgium?

Whether you’re hiring in a well-known business centre or a niche manufacturing location, we have the experience and reach to help. Our recruitment services cover locations including:

How our approach addresses recruitment challenges:
Upfront Costs
We offer three flexible recruitment models to suit how your business prefers to work. Our Retained Search gives you a focused, priority-led approach for business-critical roles. Retingency gives you access to some of the benefits of retained without upfront fees, giving you quality with no financial risk. And our Ready-to-Go Talent Acquisition Team is a 6-week dedicated project service, where we work solely on your vacancies. However you prefer to partner, we adapt the model around your needs, not the other way around.
Lack of Candidate Insights
Relying on gut instinct alone can increase the risk of a mis-hire. That’s why our Retained Search and Ready-to-Go Talent Acquisition Team models include behavioural assessments at no additional cost. These insights give you a deeper understanding of each candidate’s natural behaviours, helping you make confident, data-led hiring decisions.
Continuity
We understand the frustration of inconsistent service levels from recruiters, especially from those operating a contingency model. We work with you as a strategic partner, providing a dedicated account manager and resource team. This approach ensures that we understand your unique needs and deliver industry-leading candidates who align with your organisation’s culture and values.

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.
