Recruitment Agency in Walloon Brabant

Looking for an Account Manager, a Sales Engineer or a sales director for your business in Walloon Brabant? Archetype has recruited sales, marketing and management profiles since 1993. We approach people already in post and run interviews in French, Dutch or English. Our fee is agreed before we start, in a written proposal: a retainer, never a success fee. Placement takes 12 weeks on average and comes with a 6-month replacement guarantee.

Sales director and recruitment consultant in a Louvain-la-Neuve office — In Walloon Brabant, a sales role often covers Brussels and Flanders as well.

Walloon Brabant borders Brussels and Flemish Brabant. A role based in Wavre, Nivelles or Louvain-la-Neuve often covers the capital and part of Flanders too, so interviews often run in two languages. Wallonia accounts for 16% of our assignments.

We do not supply temporary staff or production workers. For that, a temp agency or the public employment service is the better fit. Read how a recruitment agency differs from a temp agency.

Hiring a salesperson in Walloon Brabant: what the figures say

Le Forem, the Walloon public employment service, lists technical sales representative (délégué technico-commercial) among its 2026 shortage occupations in Wallonia. It adds that English or Dutch is requested in nearly half of the job offers it handles for this role (Le Forem occupation sheet, in French).

For a Walloon Brabant company that also sells in Brussels and Flanders, language is not a nice extra on a CV. The role’s language requirements are set at the briefing.

Our first call isn’t about validating your brief. It’s about challenging it. Most agencies take the order, go sourcing, and come back with ten CVs. We put the requirement back on the table first: is the role properly defined, does the scorecard hold up, is the market aligned with your range? If the brief drifts, so does the sourcing. This discipline isn’t comfortable for everyone, but it’s what’s kept us in business for 33 years in an industry where half of all firms don’t make it past five.
