When Randstad is a good fit
Randstad is a good fit if you need temporary workers, since only a recognised temp agency may have them work for you. With offices across Belgium it is also an obvious choice if you hire on several sites at once, or want to keep temporary work and permanent hiring with one partner.

When a niche agency for technical profiles fits
A niche agency makes sense when you want to fill one permanent technical role, such as an automation engineer or a maintenance technician, and the right person works somewhere else today. Then it matters that the recruiter knows the technology and approaches candidates directly, even if they are not actively looking.

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.
