The challenges of recruiting a Business Developer for your growth

Your pipeline is dry. Your salespeople close deals, but no one is prospecting with enough intensity to feed the machine. Without a Business Developer capable of opening doors, your growth stalls — and your quarterly targets become wishful thinking.

The Belgian market is severely lacking strong BizDev profiles. Candidates who can both prospect through cold outreach, build partnerships, and qualify complex opportunities are rare. Your competitors know this and poach them before they even update their LinkedIn.

Our expert approach to recruiting Business Developers

Archetype hunts Business Developers where they are: employed, generating revenue for someone else. We do not wait for them to apply.

Our assessment goes beyond measurable track records. We test resilience in the face of rejection, creativity in commercial approach, and the ability to structure a prospecting cycle from A to Z. We also verify alignment with your values: a brilliant BizDev who does not match your DNA will leave within 6 months. 90% of applications are rejected. You only see the top 3.

Profiles and sectors of intervention

Our Business Developer recruitments cover high value-added sectors:

• Tech/SaaS: BizDevs capable of understanding a technical product and positioning it with C-level decision-makers.
• Logistics: profiles who master supply chain challenges and know how to negotiate framework agreements.
• Construction: business developers accustomed to tenders and institutional relationships.

Whether you are a start-up looking for your first BizDev or a group structuring a team of 20 hunters, we calibrate our search to your stage of development.

Expertise in Business Developer recruitment across Belgium

From Brussels, we cover the entire Belgian territory with particular attention to the economic hubs of Ghent and Antwerp.

The Flemish market and the Walloon market do not share the same prospecting dynamics. Decision cycles, business networks, the language of negotiations — everything differs. Archetype masters these regional nuances to find you the BizDev who knows how to operate in your playing field.
