At M18, we don’t just fill roles. We guide international and growing companies toward the right commercial leader: someone who understands your culture, drives results and grows with your business.
At M18, we believe hiring a new commercial leader is about much more than simply filling a vacancy. You’re looking for someone who integrates naturally into your team, who intuitively matches your pace – and shares your ambition as well.
That’s why we look beyond job descriptions and CVs. And to do that properly, we take the time to truly understand your business, its culture, context and internal dynamics. Just as importantly, we see the person behind the profile. Because success isn’t only about skills – it’s about chemistry, clarity and shared ambition.
And while commercial leadership is often at the core of what we do, our focus on commercial impact goes further. We also guide clients in filling senior roles in marketing, operations and general management – always with a clear commercial focus.
We work together with ambitious Belgian companies and international organisations establishing their roots here. And we don’t rest until we find someone who fits. Not just today, but tomorrow – and well into the future.
Or, in other words: someone who feels as though they’ve always been part of the team. Someone who belongs.
When you’re growing fast, making the wrong hire doesn’t just slow you down: it also costs you time, momentum and revenue. We help you get clarity before you hire, so you can move fast, choose wisely – and build the kind of team that lasts.
We don’t start with a job title. We start with you: your strategy, your culture, your growth goals.
Together, we shape the role, the expectations and the hiring roadmap.
We explore the market and test early traction.
We guide candidates and clients through structured interviews.
We let our clients and candidates speak for themselves. Their success is the best proof of our commitment.
“What truly sets M18 apart is their human, tailor-made approach with genuine conversations. They listen attentively, think proactively, and only present profiles that are a true fit. You can feel that they are not simply recruiting, but actively helping to build your team — and that is what makes the difference in the long term.”
“We secured a long term recruitment partnership fueled by M18’s deep understanding of what we do, our culture, and a permanent dialogue on how each new recruitment should serve our business objectives.”
“We are extremely satisfied with our collaboration with M18. Their professionalism, commitment, and positive approach truly made the difference.

“Our collaboration with M18 was highly positive. Their approach is professional, and their onboarding process really stood out: they take the time to thoroughly understand your organization, company culture, and expectations. As a result, we were quickly presented with candidates who perfectly matched our needs. For filling the strategic role of Managing Director Belgium, this was exactly the level of quality and speed we were looking for.”
“As a young and emerging player in the market, finding an Account Manager with the right mindset was a significant challenge for us. M18 immediately understood the constraints we faced as a smaller organization and demonstrated exceptional adaptability and professionalism. They developed a clear and actionable plan that addressed our needs effectively.
The result was a smooth and productive collaboration, which ultimately led to the successful hiring of our new colleague. Throughout the process, M18 showed strong communication skills, strategic thinking, and a genuine commitment to delivering results.
I confidently recommend M18 to any organization seeking a reliable and proactive partner. Their ability to understand client challenges and provide tailored solutions is truly commendable.”
