Steve Diamant
Partner · Business Development, Sales & Marketing at Archetype
Steve Diamant didn’t come from the recruitment world; he was born into it. Archetype, the Brussels firm his father Marc Diamant founded in 1993, has always been part of his life. Today he is one of its three leaders, alongside Marc and his brother Davy.
He helps founders, HR directors and sales leaders recruit Sales and Marketing profiles on the Belgian market, turning their people ambitions into concrete actions: role definition, sourcing, assessment and onboarding.
His role at Archetype
Steve leads business development, marketing and innovation at the firm. He designed Archetype’s current commercial processes and drives its work on AI applied to recruitment, with a clear principle: AI should raise the quality of selection, not replace it.
He works closely with French companies hiring or setting up in Belgium. His field observation: Belgium shares a language and a border with France, but not its relationship to hierarchy, its decision speed or its salary expectations, and each of its three regions works in its own way.
He writes the Archetype blog articles on sales and marketing recruitment, the Belgian job market and sales team assessment.
