Recruitment

Job vacancies are advertised in the press and different media, i.e. advertisements in daily newspapers, (Le Soir, La Dernière Heure, De Standaard, Het Laatste Nieuws, etc.), advertising papers (Vlan, etc.) and regional newspapers and on the Internet, radio and teletext.

Public employment services
  • Forem for the Walloon Region
  • VDAB for the Flemish Region
  • ACTIRIS for the Brussels Capital Region
  • The ADG for the German-speaking Community
Other bodies involved in the job market
  • Selection and recruiting offices
  • SELOR: the administration’s selection office

On top of this there are also a great many hidden vacancies: a large number of vacancies are never advertised. This means you should also apply speculatively. The Yellow Pages, company lists, newspaper articles, the employment network and specialist journals all offer access to the ‘hidden’ job market. However, careers in the police, law, the army or finance are not available to people from other countries.
