What Titans does

TiTANS Consulting is a Belgian privately-held IT recruitment and selection firm founded in 2005 by Kees Maenhout, who continues to serve as managing director. The company operates exclusively in the placement of freelance and consulting IT professionals — including interim managers, project managers, Scrum Masters, architects, data engineers, and security specialists — for corporate and public-sector clients across Belgium. Its service portfolio centers on a single core offering (IT recruitment and selection), supported by a public-facing job board, a subscription-based job alert newsletter, and a branded five-step selection procedure (foundation, contact, face-to-face meeting, client feedback, start) used to guarantee match quality.

The technical footprint is deliberately lean. The website, job board, candidate application forms and authentication (including LinkedIn-style OAuth via Odoo.com) are all delivered through Odoo's website builder; there is no public API, no proprietary software product, and no mobile application. The candidate database is assembled from inbound applications and a defined set of job-board sources (Stepstone, Monster, ictjob.be, LinkedIn, VDAB), with GDPR-compliant consent and removal workflows overseen directly by the founder. Marketing is limited to organic social (X, Facebook, LinkedIn), SEO-optimized job postings, and the newsletter, with no evidence of paid acquisition or PR activity.

The revenue model is B2B professional services: placement and recruitment fees charged to client companies for each successful freelance/consulting assignment, supplemented by an undisclosed third-party marketing/partnership stream referenced in the privacy policy. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagements are negotiated per client and per mission. TiTANS serves a diversified mix of large Belgian enterprises and government agencies — including BNP Paribas Fortis, NMBS/SNCB, Elia, Alpha Credit, Athora, NIHDI/INAMI, Fedasil, De Lijn, Familiehulp and Smals — and operates trilingually (Dutch BE, French BE, English US) to cover Belgium's regional language split.

Revenue model

1. IT freelance / consulting recruitment fees: Core business is recruitment and selection of IT professionals for freelance/consulting missions. Revenue is generated by placing candidates with client organizations (interim management, management consulting, project management, HR, digital marketing, supply chain, etc.) — i.e., recruitment / placement fees from corporate clients.
2. Marketing & promotional services to third parties: Privacy policy indicates TiTANS conducts marketing or promotional campaigns for third-party products and services that have a partnership with TiTANS, suggesting an additional partner-marketing revenue stream.

Core offering

TiTANS Consulting is a Belgian IT recruitment and selection firm that recruits and places IT professionals into freelance and consulting missions at enterprise and public-sector clients across Belgium. Its core offering is end-to-end IT talent acquisition (sourcing, screening, and matching candidates for freelance/interim management, project management, Agile, data, cyber, and architecture roles), supported by a public job board, a candidate newsletter subscription, and a documented 5-step selection methodology.

Product overview

TiTANS Consulting is a single-business services firm (not a multi-product software platform) offering ICT recruitment and selection. Its portfolio is centered on one core offering — IT recruitment, screening, and freelance/consulting mission placement — supported by a public-facing Job Board / Vacancy Portal, a Newsletter/Job Alert subscription service, and a proprietary 5-Step Selection Procedure that structures how candidates are sourced, interviewed, and matched to clients. Together these elements form a unified recruitment service rather than a platform-plus-modules software architecture; the Job Board and Newsletter act as candidate-acquisition channels feeding the core recruitment engine, while the 5-Step Selection Procedure is the operating methodology that ties every placement back to the firm's brand promise.
