How do I start looking for a job in Belgium?

The best way to start looking for a job in Belgium is to work with a recruitment agency that is familiar with local regulations and has contacts with Belgian employers. Such an agency offers the support of a recruitment consultant at every stage of the job search process: from completing the formalities, through finding the best offer, to helping with the move and finding accommodation. Thanks to the knowledge and experience of the agency staff, the whole process can be much more comfortable and effective for you than looking for a job abroad on your own.

Want to find a job in Belgium? Beware of scams and fraud

You can also actively look for a job by checking job boards or Facebook groups. However, before deciding to move, you should investigate the job offer and future employer thoroughly in terms of security and transparency. In such places, companies often advertise jobs under the guise of high wages and ‘immediate employment’ but offer conditions that are not in accordance with Belgian labour law and are therefore very unfavourable for job seekers.

The employment agency prioritises the legality of employment and compliance with regulations, so you can feel safe in the job search process.
