Recruiting talent in the heart of EU Politics

Hanson Search’s executive search Brussels function has been supporting the region in placing mid to senior professionals across PR, communications, public affairs, government relations, policy and marketing roles for over a decade. Working with multinational corporates to high growth Fin-Tech businesses, agencies and NGOs we have developed a trusted network of the finest industry professional in Brussels.

Brussels has a rich and diverse culture, with a multitude of European nationalities, skills, experiences and industry backgrounds, which can bring its own set of unique challenges to finding talent.

Our experience of the Brussels landscape, coupled with our industry knowledge in recruiting into the highly regulated markets such as healthcare, technology, financial services, energy, environments, transport and sustainability, means we can support both businesses and agencies looking to grow their teams in this region.
