talent.brussels
Created in 2018, talent.brussels is the Brussels-Capital Region’s regional public administration responsible for recruiting statutory employees and top managers for Brussels’ regional public bodies.
It serves as a link between candidates and public employers in the Brussels-Capital Region.
In addition to recruiting new talent, talent.brussels is the HR expertise centre for its regional partners. It provides HR, recruitment, career, well-being and diversity services to business units. It supports its partners in their organisational development challenges.
In practical terms, talent.brussels recruits new talent for the Brussels regional administrations and offers HR support to its partners.
Here are the six general missions of talent.brussels:
Finding the best talent for the Brussels Region
- talent.brussels recruits statutory civil servants for its 13 partner institutions in Brussels.

More broadly, talent.brussels’ mission is to optimise hiring policies, by creating faster, more flexible procedures.
Providing cross-cutting legal support on HR issues:

Developing a strategic vision for human resources:
