Recruitment Agency in Namur for Sales Roles

Looking for an Account Manager, a Sales Engineer or a sales director for your business in Namur? 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.

Managing director and recruitment consultant in a Namur office overlooking the Meuse — Namur is the capital of Wallonia; many roles based here cover the whole region.

Namur is the capital of Wallonia, between Brussels, Liège and Charleroi. A role based in Namur often covers the whole of Wallonia, and sometimes Brussels. 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 Namur: what the figures say

Le Forem, the Walloon public employment service, lists technical sales representative among its 2026 shortage occupations in Wallonia. It rates the tension as low but names two causes: technical knowledge of the products sold, and experience. At least a third of the people in this job are over 50, according to the Statbel labour force survey data it cites (Le Forem occupation sheet, in French).

For a company in the province of Namur, the hard part is rarely getting CVs. It is finding the salesperson who understands a technical product, knows the local buyers and is willing to leave a job where they are doing well.

Roles we recruit in Namur

Technical salespeople and Sales Engineers for industry, construction and logistics.

Sales directors and managing directors.

Dutch is often required once a role covers all of Belgium. Our team is trilingual, and 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.
