A sales manager unsuited to your sector can reduce your sales and damage your brand image within a few months. Archetype has been recruiting Sales, Marketing, and Commercial Management profiles in Belgium for 30 years.
The challenges of recruitment in commerce
Belgian commerce faces constant pressure on margins and high turnover within sales teams. Attracting a Sales Director capable of defending your market share against online competition requires targeted headhunting. High-performing profiles negotiate with large retail chains, manage significant volumes, and understand the field. A vacant commercial leadership position slows your development for months.
Our sector expertise in commerce
Archetype evaluates each candidate on their real ability to develop a client portfolio, negotiate with purchasing centers, and lead a field sales force. We measure assertiveness, resistance to pressure, and results orientation — not just what appears on a CV. Our Human Capital approach ensures that the candidate matches your company culture and commercial pace.
