We're Not Just Recruiters. We're Partners.

Building long-term relationships between exceptional talent and forward-thinking companies across Belgium.


Our Story

Skill&Will was founded in May 2023 under the former name GBL
Staffing Solutions with a clear belief: recruitment should be about building long-term partnerships, not short-term transactions. In a market often focused on speed and volume, we consciously chose a different approach. One centered around quality, trust, and meaningful human connections.

What started as a small and ambitious initiative quickly grew into a dynamic team of 10 driven professionals who share the same mindset: helping both companies and candidates grow in a sustainable and authentic way. We specialize in permanent recruitment, executive search and interim management, supporting organizations with tailored solutions and professionals with career opportunities that truly match their ambitions, skills, and values.

We believe successful recruitment goes beyond CVs and job descriptions. By combining market knowledge with a personal approach, we take the time to understand the story behind every company and every candidate, their culture, ambitions, motivations, and potential.

At Skill&Will, entrepreneurship, collaboration, and continuous growth are at the heart of everything we do. Beyond recruitment, we also believe in creating a positive social impact by actively supporting local initiatives, schools, and associations within our community.

Today, we are proud to work with a diverse portfolio of companies and professionals who, just like us, believe recruitment can be more human, sustainable, and value-driven.

What People Say About Us

Silvia Di Bono

HR Business Partner, Multipharma

"Their approach creates strong relationships that bridge the company and the candidates, which makes you feel genuinely supported."

Wouter Piepers

Managing Director, Transkript

"Skill&Will stands out because they genuinely give back to the local community through value-driven entrepreneurship."

De sterkte van Skill&Will zit hem in de directe aanpak: echt luisteren naar de klant en focus tijdens de zoektocht. Klant en kandidaat krijgen de volle aandacht. Oog voor detail in combinatie met de jarenlange ervaring en mensenkennis van Lander maken het verschil in het bewerkstelligen van een match.

T. Matthieu, Financial Controller & HR Manager

A recruiter that listens. Lander recruited for us 2 people. He took the time to really understand our specific needs and to learn the culture of our company. This enabled him to find multiple valid candidates in a short timeframe. The focus was not just on selling us people but to find a both way match for all parties involved. Thanks a lot Lander.

D. Lefevere, Financial Controller

Lander van Skill&Will onderscheidt zich door te vertrekken vanuit de kandidaat, en van daaruit op zoek te gaan naar de ideale job. Hij hanteert hierbij een no-nonsens, informele maar professionele aanpak met snelle opvolging en feedback naar de kandidaat toe. Het moet vooruit gaan bij Lander én tegelijk een goede match zijn, en dat was ook in mijn geval!

Free, Candidate

I have used Skill&Will on a number of occasions. Each time, I was very satisfied. Skill&Will asks questions well and thus start from a sharp picture of what we need. This is also confirmed by the candidates presented. Not only do they have the right skills, but they also fit well with our culture. In addition, what I appreciate enormously is that there is speed in the process. They do what they say and that is very nice.

J. Pafort, HR Director

J’ai eu le plaisir de rencontrer Lander de Skill&Will. Il m’a ‘trouvée’ sur LinkedIn alors que j’avais mentionné que j’étais ouverte aux nouvelles opportunités professionnelles. Lander m’a interviewée de façon très professionnelle et a très bien cerné ma candidature, avec ses points forts et ses points faibles. Grâce à sa grande disponibilité, il m’a aidée à faire le point sur ma carrière et à voir vers où je voulais aller. Et grâce aux bonnes connaissances de ses clients, il m’a proposé de très belles opportunités professionnelles…. dont une qui va se concrétiser dans quelques jours ???? Merci Lander et merci Skill&Will!

D. Gerard, Candidate

Ik solliciteerde bij Skill&Will. Sofie belde me al op na een uur. Ze neemt ruim de tijd om te luisteren naar mijn ervaring en de verwachting van de rol. Ze was heel professioneel, heel gestructureerd, duidelike informatie, goed ingeschat wat er op mijn CV staat, to the point maar met oprechte belangstelling. De dag na het gesprek, belde ze mij meteen op om te vragen hoe het verlopen was. Ik voelde respect voor mijn jaren ervaring & ik werd bevestigd als persoon, waarvoor dank Sofie!

L. Vanderheeren, Candidate
