Headlight

Headlight is a specialist sales recruitment agency based in Berchem, Belgium, dedicated to securing strategic sales hires for growth-stage B2B technology companies. Rather than competing on speed or volume, Headlight focuses on quality placements where sales hires become business decisions rather than vacancy fills. The agency works exclusively with a select number of clients at any given time, combining over 30 years of combined sales recruitment expertise with a structured search methodology to reduce hiring risk and deliver candidates who drive genuine business impact.

Headlight specialises exclusively in the technology sector, working with companies undergoing rapid expansion, market changes, or investor pressure. The agency places experienced sales professionals with over 10 years of experience into strategic roles including business development managers, key account managers, senior account executives, sales managers, chief commercial officers, VP Sales, Sales Directors, and commercial leaders at board level. The recruitment process focuses on the leverage and impact of each role rather than job title alone, ensuring candidates bring the maturity, market knowledge, and experience necessary to move companies forward.

Operating from their headquarters in Berchem, Headlight serves growth-stage technology companies across Europe who have found traditional recruitment approaches insufficient. Clients choose Headlight because the agency understands the market deeply, maintains a well-vetted network of senior sales talent, and provides transparent guidance throughout the hiring process. By combining rigorous sourcing with genuine understanding of what motivates senior sales professionals, Headlight enables leadership teams to hire with confidence and secure placements that shape long-term growth and market positioning.
