What kind of agency Accent is
Accent is a temp agency. The formula it says it offers most often is temp-to-perm: starting on a temporary basis with the prospect of a permanent contract. A candidate can also start on a permanent contract straight away, and Accent offers payroll and in-house solutions.
Among its specialisms Accent lists Construction, Techniek (technical) and Industry and production, with profiles such as maintenance mechanic, estimator and HVAC technician.

When Accent is a good fit
Accent is a good fit if you want someone to start as a temporary worker and then hire them permanently; the law has the intake motive for that. For technical and construction profiles in Flanders and Wallonia, where Accent has a dedicated specialism, the agency is also an obvious option.

When a niche agency for technical profiles fits
If you do not want to start through temporary work but hire permanently from day one, and the role is an engineer, a project lead or a technical sales role you will not find through a job board, a recruiter who sticks to such profiles and approaches candidates directly helps.

How AltusConnect works
AltusConnect is a small agency from Antwerp that only searches for technical profiles: engineers, technicians, technical sales people and production profiles, for companies across Belgium. We do not do temporary agency work; we work on permanent hires, freelance assignments and project sourcing.
Every assignment starts with an intake on the technology, the team and the package. We approach professionals ourselves, including people who are not actively looking, and talk to every candidate before you get a name, only with their consent. We do not ask for exclusivity, so you can keep working with another agency alongside us.
