Belgium: Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Brugge, Leuven, Mechelen,... Luxembourg Beyond BENELUX: ART recruits Dutch, Belgian and Luxembourg bilingual or multilingual senior managers across Europe, Asia-Pacific, North America, South America, Africa and the Middle East. Often these high-achieving and entrepreneurial candidates bring a heightened understanding of international business while having a deep understanding of the needs of Benelux markets, staff, and customers     FURTHER DETAILS Local managers for foreign companies, where the goal is to increase local market share with bilingual or multilingual managers who have strong track records of success in the national markets of the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, or in the European or EMEA market as a unity.   Our emphasis in this kind of search is to find managers who perform well in accordance with the business culture of the foreign company. Benelux candidates are always very fluent in English, and typically are fluent in either Dutch or French, while some are trilingual (EN-NL-FR) or multilingual, frequently also being fluent in German. ART has candidates in certain industry sectors who are fluent in other European, Asian and Mideast languages, allowing for stronger communications between HQ and the local market.   Whenever possible, for this kind of search we seek candidates who have worked at their best in this role at foreign firms. We take particular care to try to find people who are accustomed to working in a business model that resembles that of the client company. A person who works well at a top, large Dutch firm, for example, might not be the right person as employee #1 at a foreign greenfield business unit in the Netherlands.   Our objective in this search is to find candidates who are sensitive to both the business culture of the home company and to that of the local Dutch, Belgian or Luxembourg customers. The objective is to find a leader whom the foreign company can trust to run their business, while effectively reaching local customers in a way that they will find comforting.   Searches might be at the national level, Benelux level, pan-European level, or EMEA level. As ART is frequently asked by our client companies to identify EMEA Managing Directors or pan-Europe Sales Directors who are based in Amsterdam or Brussels, candidates with additional fluency in multiple European languages are especially of interest to us.     Fast-paced, internationally oriented Dutch-speaking or Francophone managers for Dutch, Belgian or Luxembourg firms that need to change their management style to reflect a more outward, pan-European or global management style, in order to compete more effectively globally   Very large Dutch, Belgian or Luxembourg corporations, medium sized public corporations, as well as traditional medium sized privately-owned Benelux firms, that might need to find a change-agent senior manager to help their long range business growth plans.     Foreign managers, some fluent in Dutch or French as well as English and the local language, who can be trusted to manage Dutch, Belgian or Luxembourg business units in Europe, Asia, Latin America, North America, Africa or the Middle East   When expanding overseas, many Dutch, Belgian or Luxembourg firms do not know where to find local managers who have a high enough standard of training to properly manage their business. ART candidates in other countries, some trained in Europe, have been tested as managers at leading world companies, and they could be the best way for Dutch, Belgian or Luxembourg companies to expand abroad.   ART's approach to executive search is to avoid risks whenever possible and to find candidates who bring the best long term benefits to the client company.   Unlike most recruitment firms based in the Netherlands, Belgium or Luxembourg, which have to depend upon outsourced recruiters and unclear partnerships with foreign recruiters for overseas searches, ART does 100% of all our own recruitment. We recruit directly in over 100 countries, and we never use any other recruitment company to find our candidates. In this way, we are able to deliver excellent candidates with the same level of efficiency and quality of service that is expected in our clients' home countries.   We also recruit Dutch, Belgian or Luxembourg managers outside of the Benelux region. Most of these European managers have strong business experiences in the target area, language and market. Because many of these managers have effectively localized, they often do not require expatriate benefits.
