When a niche agency for technical profiles fits
If you are not looking for an operative but a technician or engineer who runs an installation independently, and you know such a person rarely applies, an agency that only fills technical roles and goes through the job content with you first is more useful.

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.
