Borderless Talent

Borderless Talent presents itself as the answer to the labour shortage in Belgium, a country it says faces a critical and lasting shortage of mid-skilled workers, and it recruits qualified talent from outside the EU, specifically workers from the Philippines. Companies get one fixed point of contact and complete administrative ontzorging, comfortable housing and reliable transport, a strong focus on language and integration, higher employee satisfaction and retention, and a transparent approach with a human touch. Workers are employed through uitzendcontracten, and the company holds recognition numbers for Uitzendarbeid and Bouw in Flanders under 1028\BUOC and in Wallonia under W.DISP.612, trading with the Belgian company number 0866.674.808.

The roles Borderless Talent fills are knelpuntberoepen in technical and construction trades. Its published list covers HVAC technicians, maintenance mechanics and maintenance electricians, drivers of construction site machinery, pipefitters, industrial sheet metal workers, bekisters and ijzervlechters, bricklayers, car technicians and technicians for heavy vehicles, agricultural and site machines. The company argues that Belgian employers turn to Filipino workers because of their strong English, their work ethic, loyalty and commitment, their vocational training and experience in sectors such as engineering and construction, their long tradition of labour migration and international mobility, and their ability to adapt to different cultural environments.

Borderless Talent is based at Industrielaan 28 in 3730 Bilzen-Hoeselt and can be reached on 089 29 00 04 or at [email protected]. Its procedure runs from signature of the quotation and a briefed search through international partners, a shortlist screened and tested by its own Belgian recruiter, an online interview with the client and the choice of candidates, then the documents and permits needed to live and work in Belgium, arrival and welcome in the country, housing, mobility and guidance, weekly payroll and invoicing, and regular follow up of the employment. Vacancies are approved by the Philippine authorities through recognised Philippine recruitment agencies under a Job Order, permits are obtained through the Single Permit procedure, and integration in Belgium is supported with Dutch lessons, maatschappelijke oriëntatie, jobcoaching and community building. The site also publishes news on labour migration, including a comparison of buitenlandse detachering with Single Permit recruitment.
