AGO Jobs & HR

What AGO Jobs & HR does

AGO Jobs & HR (legal entity AIB NV) is a Belgian staffing and HR services company founded in 1986 and headquartered in Kortrijk, Belgium. The firm operates as a two-sided marketplace connecting employers with temporary and permanent workers across 20+ specialized industry divisions including Industry, Construct, Technics, Office, Food, Retail, Logistics, IT, Chemicals, and Public Services. Its technology surface is a web-based job board at ago.jobs paired with the My AGO digital profile system that allows job seekers to set preferences and receive matching job recommendations, supported by Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for traffic and advertising measurement. No mobile app, public API, or AI-driven matching system is documented.

The business runs a hybrid B2B/B2C model: B2B sales-led engagement with employers who need temporary staffing, payroll administration, and HR services, and B2C outreach to job seekers through website listings, localized blog content, and a 100+ branch office network across Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels, plus a single international office in Tourcoing, France. Revenue is generated primarily through a markup on hourly wages for temporary placements and through payrolling/HR services fees for employers outsourcing workforce administration. The company is a certified member of Federgon, the Belgian federation for HR services, and lists enterprise clients including FedEx, Carrefour, Volvo Trucks, Lotus Bakeries, bpost, Hubo, Nationale Loterij, and Estée Lauder among its named accounts. AGO CONSTRUCT bvba and GoTemp are wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, and Elodie Seys serves as Co-Owner and CEO.
