We feel your pain

Rapid growth, changing niche skills, and a fierce war for talent present the public sector & social profit with unique talent challenges:

Digital acceleration: technologies evolve faster than people and organizations.

Outdated skills: the shortage of specialized IT talent is increasing, while existing knowledge quickly becomes obsolete.

Rising labor costs: the high price tag of scarce IT talent puts pressure on budgets and priorities.

We understand the specific challenges in your sector

High demands, limited resources

Flanders ranks among the top 10 in the EU (DESI index) for digital public services. Digital ambitions are high, while resources remain limited.

Fast-growing public services

The social profit sector, including healthcare and welfare, grew by 22% in FTEs between 2014 and 2024. That is significantly faster than the Flemish average.

Data & AI integration

The evolution from legacy systems to data-driven decision-making and AI integration requires specialized expertise.

Cybersecurity and compliance

Stricter regulations (such as GDPR and NIS2) and increasing cyber threats make cybersecurity and compliance strategic priorities.

Vlaanderen Connect: 7-year partnership

Keywords: Structural IT, Flemish government

Challenge

When it was founded in 2018, Vlaanderen Connect faced the challenge of attracting IT talent centrally and strategically for Flemish government agencies and departments. IT profiles did not always see the Flemish government as an attractive employer, partly due to limited employer branding, strict salary structures, and persistent prejudices regarding innovation.

Solution

Through a structural partnership, we strengthened Vlaanderen Connect’s employer brand and supported the sustainable development of the organization. Tailored to the maturity and needs of each agency, we offered guidance in the recruitment, selection, and onboarding of IT profiles.

Result

In seven years, the Flemish government significantly improved its access to the IT community. Dozens of IT profiles were successfully recruited, IT departments grew in maturity, and—partly thanks to clear growth opportunities—the retention rate proved to be exceptionally high.

Reference

Jan Stoffels, General Manager Vlaanderen Connect: “Thanks to the long-term partnership with Amon Geniki, we were able to structurally strengthen Vlaanderen Connect, attract IT talent sustainably, and allow our agencies to grow in maturity, impact, and attractiveness as an employer.”

AZ Maria Middelares: merger and increased gender diversity

Keywords: Executive IT search with impact on diversity and leadership

Challenge

The merger of two hospitals brought together diverse IT landscapes, processes, and expectations, while continuity, scalability, and patient safety remained the highest priorities. There was also a need for clear IT governance and a more balanced management team, with more diversity and a distinct focus on people leadership.

Solution

The decision was made to appoint an IT Director who prioritizes leadership, structure, and collaboration. Using a bottom-up approach, clear objectives, and transparent communication, we redesigned the IT organization around complementary teams. IT evolved into a strategic partner for both healthcare and business, playing an active role in the merger and further digital transformation.

Result

Today, AZ Maria Middelares has a stable and high-performing IT organization with a highly engaged team and smooth collaboration across all sites. The hospital benefits from successfully integrated IT systems, projects realized with a focus on quality, safety, and continuity, and smoother collaboration between IT, healthcare, and business. Furthermore, the management team was strengthened in terms of content and composition, contributing to a supported and people-oriented leadership culture. To top it all off, the IT approach garnered broad recognition within the organization.

Reference

Pascal Verdonck, Chairman AZ Maria Middelares: “IT is now a stable and strategic partner for the entire organization. The team has been given a clear structure, inspires confidence, and continues to make progress in a context of constant change.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Does your recruitment need to take place via an official tender? No problem. We know the legislation, framework contracts, and tendering procedures for ICT profiles in the public sector inside out.
We advise you at an early stage on the precise formulation of the specifications, so that you also attract scarce and strategic IT profiles. Our approach is transparent, legally correct, and fully aligned with the context of public procurement. This way, you combine compliance with quality.

Strong IT professionals don’t just choose based on salary. They choose for impact.
We focus on intrinsic motivation and social relevance. IT leaders and specialists in the public and social profit sector want to contribute to better services, healthcare, education, or infrastructure.
We ensure that mission-driven IT talent identifies with your organization. That is our expertise: making the right match between a strategic IT profile and a social mission.

We support the full spectrum of the public and non-profit sector. Our experience extends from governments to healthcare, education, and utility companies.
Some organizations we work with:
* Flemish government
* UZA
* Jessa Hospital
* Group S
* Liantis
* District09
* Fluvius
* Vives University of Applied Sciences
This broad experience ensures that we understand the sensitivities, structures, and decision-making within your sector.

A permanent IT employee ensures:
* knowledge retention within your organization
* strategic continuity
* lower costs in the long term
* stronger anchoring of digital transformation
The classic “consultant trap” often leads to high expenses and loss of accumulated knowledge once the contract ends.
We help you attract permanent IT leaders and experts who strengthen your organization sustainably.

Yes. As an IT Talent Partner, we also support you with temporary challenges, such as:

  • Interim Management (for example, an Interim CIO during transition or crisis)
  • IT Team Design: strategic advice on the optimal structure of your IT team before you start recruiting

This way, you combine flexibility with a long-term vision.

In the public and social profit sectors, culture is at least as important as technical expertise.

Our in-depth Talent Scan goes beyond competencies. We assess:

  • values and commitment
  • motivation for social impact
  • alignment with your organizational culture

This ensures sustainable matches and lower turnover.

Absolutely. Our focus is exclusively on IT & Digital.

We recruit, among others:

  • IT managers
  • CIOs
  • Project managers
  • Cloud architects
  • Data scientists
  • Cybersecurity specialists
  • Product owners

Thanks to our market knowledge and active sourcing strategy, we find qualified candidates quickly, even for scarce ICT profiles.

We keep searching until you have the right match.

Our success depends on a successful placement. That is why we continue to actively source and select until you are convinced. Furthermore, we offer a replacement guarantee if a candidate leaves within an agreed period.

We act quickly. We often start active sourcing within a few days after the intake interview. Due to our specialized focus on IT & Digital and our extensive network, we can propose strong, screened candidates relatively quickly, even for bottleneck professions.

We start with an intake: a deep dive into the sector, team culture, hiring needs, and growth ambitions. Then we source proactively, screen technically and culturally, and present only matching candidates. We facilitate interviews, advise on offers, and guide onboarding. We also remain involved after placement for optimal retention.
