Problem
Belgium companies are thinking global in terms of export. But they are still thinking extremely local in terms of resources and teams. Pleaseeee!
start thinking global for everything
Time to GO global today. Wake up!
Answer
Are you searching for the best, smartest & most motivated ICT programming guys? Then please stop searching in the small boundaries of Belgium.
Poland can be your answer. The Belgian economy is stable, that’s a fact. But let’s face it: stable is boring and boring creates mediocrity and mediocrity doesn’t stimulate the motivation to move forward.
If you want to deliver products and services that exceed expectations, start thinking outside the box and outside Belgium.
Relief
Poland is an extremely fast growing economy. Growth creates motivated people, opportunities, speed, accuracy & hard working attitudes.
The Polish Universities are rated as one of the best in Europe and every year they are delivering top notch ICT developers. Successful companies like Google, Oracle, IBM, etc. all know this for many years and are all located in Poland for that same reason.
Story
We started our Belgium ICT business in 2011. We were looking for a senior developer for 3 months in the region of Ghent. We just couldn’t find the perfect developer. We had prepared a test to measure the skills of the candidates. They had to make a simple CRUD along with some recommended technology choices, provided with CSS files and a DB. The best developer that we found was a 6/10 -> do you want to start your company with a 6/10 team? I don’t think so! We were looking for the 10/10 team for our company.
We found our answer in Poland. On the same test we found developers who scored a 9/10! Lets Face it, we can never give a developer 10/10.. That’s how our story started in Poland.
Since 2011 our founder Peter Jouret comes every month to Poland. We established our team there to work on our own products.
During all these years a lot of people in our network and business friends came to us telling that they face the same problem as we had in 2011 -> They can’t find a good developer and if by chance they find one they are way too expensive!
Therefore Peter Jouret started his nearshoring business to help out our business friends and other ICT companies in Belgium.
Nowadays
Today we offer various companies in Belgium an extension of their current team from within our office in Poland . Almost each company that started working with us is still working with us today. Why? Because our flexible approach just works like a perfectly oiled machine.
Do you want to know how (simply) this actually works?

Unravel
We’ll make it clear by speaking about a hot topic in Belgium that we all know ‐ they call it “the new way of work”. Sounds innovative, but it’s not new at all. For Belgium it is still quite new yes.
The most innovative and growing companies are promoting and incorporating this “new way of work” phenomenon.
Basically it means that we no longer measure the outcome by the performed hours of checking in and out of the office building but we measure results. The location where the results are made is not important anymore.
Summarized ‐ this phenomenon promotes working from home. Why? Because it simply works for everyone , it is modern, result driven and companies are saving up on expensive office buildings too.
Does it work ‐ yes absolutely. But of course it all depends on the job that needs to be performed. We are talking about ICT developers and this is actually the best job in the whole world that fits in with this “new way of work” model.
Last words
Why do a lot of Belgium ICT companies allow their programmers to work from home and have proven that working from a distance within ICT is 100% possible so it is very strange for us to see that they fail in to think global with their resources and do this approach with Flemish developers only.
What is the difference between working from a distance with a Flemish speaking developer and working from a distance with an English speaking Polish developer? Yes, the language. You can’t speak English? Then you’ve probably stopped reading above, right? :)
Maybe you just want to overpay your recruitment or headhunter team to find that perfect Flemish developer? Do you have time to wait till you find the perfect developer after months of searching? Do you want to pay for all those extras that are necessary because of the Belgian government regulations to hire this Flemish developer? Taxes, 13th month, limited amounts of hours per month, etc. Do you like to provide on top of that all the perks that are by culture accepted for good developers in Belgium? A company car, laptop, phone. If you all like to do this, then stop reading here;)
