A partner that aligns talent with organisations — and stays accountable through month twelve.
Too often, capable individuals are placed into the wrong context — or left unsupported once the decision is made.
At Vector, we measure success at 12 months. That is when performance, contribution and integration become visible. Everything before that is process. Everything after that is proof.
The Vector CSI Model translates this belief into a structured way of working — applied consistently across every mandate, every division and every client.
"Real partnership doesn't end at placement. It starts there."
Every engagement at Vector includes a structured post-placement follow-up — check-ins at pre-start, month 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 — to ensure the integration is on track and course-correct if it isn't.
A hire is only successful when the person is truly integrated into the organisation — contributing, aligned and growing. Placement is the beginning, not the end.
Skills are necessary but not sufficient. Culture, leadership style and long-term ambition must align — or the match will fail regardless of the CV.
We tell clients when a mandate is harder than expected. We tell candidates when a role isn't right for them. Honest assessment is the foundation of every long-term partnership.
We commit to outcomes, not activity. If an integration isn't working, we address it — proactively. That's what 12-month follow-up means in practice.
After 20+ years in executive search, we built Vector around a simple belief — that a hire is only complete when the person is truly part of the organisation.
Michel has spent over two decades in executive search, partnering with leadership teams across consulting, technology and HR services — including Accenture, IBM, SDWorx, Sopra Steria and Niko.
His career spans both retained search and project-based talent advisory, working with organisations from global enterprises to scaling Belgian businesses. He has seen every variation of the transactional model — multiple agencies on the same mandate, CVs sent without context, placements treated as endpoints — and built Vector as the deliberate counterweight.
A pragmatist by default, Michel combines deep market knowledge with a healthy resistance to recruitment theatre. He believes the best engagements start with sharp calibration, end with verified integration, and are honest about everything in between.
Beyond the search work, he is hands-on with AI agents and workflow automation — applying the same principle to recruitment infrastructure as to candidate conversations: less noise, more signal.
Linda brings over two decades of international experience at the intersection of business,
talent and organisational performance.
Her career spans both agency and in-house environments, giving her a rare, fully rounded perspective on hiring.
She has led and supported talent initiatives across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, working closely with
leadership teams in complex, international organisations — including Cargill, Toyota Motor Europe, BESIX,
Aliaxis, Vandemoortele, Fluxys and Triodos Bank.
This dual experience allows her to approach hiring not as a process, but as a business-critical
decision — shaped by context, leadership dynamics and organisational reality.
Alongside her corporate work, Linda has always maintained a strong entrepreneurial drive.
She understands the pressures behind growth and decision-making, and brings both structure
and judgement to moments where hiring outcomes truly matter.
Trilingual (Dutch, French and English), she combines deep market knowledge with experience-based
intuition — recognising that not everything that drives performance can be captured in a process.
At Vector, she puts this into practice by helping organisations make hiring decisions
that translate into real, lasting impact.
We've both spent more than two decades in this industry. We built Vector on a simple conviction: that real integration requires understanding an organisation from the inside — its culture, its dynamics, the expectations that are never written down.
That requires focus. And accountability.
That's why Vector works exclusively. One mandate. One client. Full ownership over the outcome.
Our approach
We work exclusively and with full accountability. Not because it's different — but because it's necessary.
Understanding an organisation takes time. Integration requires continuity. Neither can be achieved in a transactional model.
Vector is built to grow. We are looking for like-minded partners who share our conviction that talent integration requires deep client relationships, full accountability and a long-term perspective. If that sounds like you — let's talk →
Every Vector engagement runs through our secure, GDPR-compliant client portal — your single source of truth for every mandate.
Real-time visibility on your searches, structured candidate pipelines, interview feedback, integration check-ins and a shared online agenda. Everything digitalised — making it simple, transparent and fast.
And your data stays yours: candidate and mandate data can be exported to your own ATS at any time.
We work with SMEs and scale-ups where hiring decisions matter — and where a bad hire at the wrong moment costs more than money.
Building leadership teams and professional structures to support the next phase of growth — without the risk of a bad hire setting it back.
Moving fast and needing people who integrate immediately — the right profile, in the right seat, from day one.
Navigating succession, transformation or strategic change — with senior profiles who bring stability, not disruption.
