Across Belgium, technology teams are under increasing pressure to lead large-scale digital transformation and modernization initiatives. Yet professionals with the specialized skills required – from cloud architecture and cybersecurity to data engineering and AI – remain in short supply.

But it’s not just about pay. Skilled tech professionals expect flexible working as standard, alongside competitive benefits and a clear path for progression. In today’s hiring climate, attracting top talent often requires a combination of creative incentives, tailored offers and a more agile approach to negotiations.
