A construction company from Brussels signed contracts for several projects at once, delivered materials, and faced an acute shortage of qualified workers. The local labor market was not delivering results, while recruitment agencies quoted timelines of 4–6 weeks. VAV Synergy solved the problem in 12 days.
Who is the client
Bart Maes is the owner of a construction company in Belgium specializing in roofing and façade works. The company operates on both commercial and residential projects across the region. After successfully closing several contracts in a row, the business encountered something unexpected: a critical shortage of workers.
What was the challenge
The company urgently needed 5 roofers and 4 façade specialists — professionals with proven experience and valid documents for legal employment in the EU. Any delay would result in direct financial losses.
VAV Synergy’s actions: 5 steps in 12 days
The company applied a well-established process for hiring foreign workers in the EU, including document verification, video interviews, and full legal support.
- Employer briefing — 30 minutes. Requirements for qualifications, experience, deadlines, and working conditions were defined. No lengthy approvals.
- Candidate sourcing and verification. Specialists with real EU work experience were selected, qualifications and legal documents were verified.
- Initial screening — 30 applications reduced to 14. Candidates were filtered based on experience, specialization, and readiness to relocate.
- Video interviews with the employer. Bart personally evaluated 14 candidates and approved 9 specialists.
- Documentation and relocation. Contract signing, preparation of all necessary documents, and onboarding support on-site.
Project timeline
12 days — from the first call to workers starting on-site. All 9 positions were filled on time. 100% completion rate.
For comparison: standard recruitment agencies in Belgium estimated 4–6 weeks for a similar request.
Client testimonial
“Honestly, I was concerned there might be issues with foreign workers — I had heard different stories. But there were no alternatives: we needed workers urgently. In reality, I received a team that simply arrived and delivered quality work.
I was also worried about inspections by authorities. But after inspectors visited two new sites and found no issues, I was convinced: all documents were in perfect order, everything was fully compliant.
We already have a new request in progress. We continue our cooperation.”
