Recruitment and selection for the (Semi) Public Sector & NGOs

Public services, care institutions, intermunicipalities and NGOs operate in a unique field of forces. Not only efficiency and results are considered, but also social impact, strict regulations and transparent procedures. Finding the right experts, project leaders and managers within this context requires a recruitment partner who understands and respects these specific sensitivities.

As an experienced HR agency in Antwerp and Flanders, Synergo HR assists (semi)public organisations and non-profit institutions in making the right match. We recruit professionals who not only possess the right expertise but also bring the necessary maturity and passion to help public services and social projects thrive.

What profiles do we recruit within the public sector?

Thanks to our structured and people-oriented approach, we are the ideal recruitment and selection partner for, among others:

  • Experts & Policy Officers: Professionals who thoroughly analyse files, translate legislation into practice, and coordinate projects from start to finish.

  • Managers & Heads of Department: Managers who motivate teams, guide change processes within a public structure, and ensure efficient operations.

  • HR- & Organisational Advisors: Experts who contribute to building a modern personnel policy, promote well-being at work, and strengthen the internal culture.

  • Interim Managers for public authorities: Experienced professionals who can quickly step in to fill temporary operational or strategic gaps.

Why choose Synergo HR as your public partner?

Recruiting for the (semi)public sector requires a different approach than in the purely commercial sector. We offer a methodology that is both objective and structured, while also focusing on the person behind the CV.

  1. Understanding of the sector structure: We are familiar with the specific context of non-profit organisations and public authorities. We effortlessly align our selection procedures with your internal qualification and selection criteria.

  2. Balance between organisation and candidate: We ensure a strong candidate experience. Candidates within the public sector place great value on transparency, social relevance, and human involvement. That is exactly how we approach them.

  3. Sustainable change through coaching: Public organisations are constantly in motion. In addition to recruitment and selection, we support your teams through coaching and strategic HR advice. This way, we help make change sustainable and increase engagement in the workplace.
