Fifteen years ago Accent set up a department called Foreign meant to recruit international talents for companies in Belgium.
Celebrating 15 years of international recruitment
15-03-2023
Since 2008 our mission is to become experts in international recruitment and to help the integration of foreign workers on the Belgian labour market.
International talents represents a third of Accent's total recruitment. Just last year we managed to help more than 8.000 people find a job in Belgium, in collaboration with more than 2900 companies.
Good to know, not only the newcomers in Belgium can benefit from our expert advice, but also those already established here.
Today, Accent Foreign has more than 60 offices in Belgium, with more than 150 collaborators who speak different languages (Romanian, Polish, Portuguese, Hungarian, Ukrainian, etc.) Internationally, Accent Foreign has 5 offices and collaborates with more than 30 external partners, which means that we are present in 12 EU countries.
