The right talent isn’t always looking for a new job.

I go out and find it.

Maxime De Brabanter (MDBR Consult) helps companies find and select Sales, Marketing, Purchasing and Customer Service profiles through direct search.

Over 20 years of experience. One single point of contact. A no-nonsense approach.

The right partner makes all the difference.

Recruiting is about more than posting a job ad and waiting for applications. It means understanding your company, your market, your culture and what could convince a high performer to join you.

That’s where my work begins.

I’m not looking for CVs. I’m looking for the right match.

01. Understand

Your real need, your DNA, your team and your context.

02. Map

Identify where the profiles likely to succeed with you can be found.

03. Approach

Make direct, personal contact with talent, including people who aren’t actively looking.

04. Assess

Skills, achievements, motivation, personality and cultural fit.

05. Connect

Present a well-argued shortlist, not a pile of CVs.

06. Support

Stay involved through the interviews, the decision, the negotiation and the onboarding.

Take your pain away.

A difficult hire takes time, ties up your teams and can slow your growth. My role is to take that search off your hands, with method, transparency and commitment.

You keep the decision. I take care of the search.

Are you
a company?

Do you have a strategic or hard-to-fill position? Let’s talk about the market, the profile and the best way to approach it.

Are you
a candidate?

You may not be actively looking. But you can stay open to the right challenge. Let’s talk in complete confidence.

Why not simply start with a conversation?

A first conversation helps me understand your situation and quickly determine whether MDBR Consult is the right partner.
