Revenue model

1. Recruitment & Selection (Werving en Selectie): MetiSelect takes over the full recruitment process for employers — from job description creation and vacancy posting to deep interviews, shortlisting, and final hiring. This is a fee-based service where the company earns a commission or success fee upon successful placement.
2. Project Sourcing: MetiSelect deploys highly educated, multilingual Project Consultants on temporary assignments at client organizations. The company provides staffing continuity, administrative support, and payroll management for these consultants, earning margin on the staffing margin.
3. Interim Management: MetiSelect matches freelance experts with organizations needing temporary senior-level or specialized expertise. The company handles onboarding, follow-up, and administrative coordination, earning fees for managing these interim manager placements.
4. Temp to Perm / Payrolling: MetiSelect places temporary workers on its own payroll and offers clients the option to transition these workers to permanent positions. The company earns margin on the payroll difference during the temp period and potentially a conversion fee upon permanent hire.
5. Teamsourcing: MetiSelect sources and assembles entire project teams for clients who need to staff multiple roles simultaneously for specific projects. Revenue is generated through staffing margins across multiple consultants.
6. Consulting on Demand: MetiSelect acts as an HR extension for client organizations, providing tailored consulting services such as assessment, outplacement, training & development, coaching, talent management, and total recruitment outsourcing. Revenue is earned through consulting fees.

• Tempo-Team Belgium (Adecco Group): Tempo-Team is the Belgian blue- and white-collar temp staffing brand of the Adecco Group, offering general staffing plus specialized RPO and project staffing — overlapping strongly with MetiSelect's Temp-to-Perm/Payrolling and Projectsourcing lines.
• ManpowerGroup Belgium: Manpower Belgium offers permanent placement, temporary staffing, and career development across business support, technical, and professional roles in the same Belgian regions covered by MetiSelect — directly competing for the same employer accounts.
• PageGroup (Michael Page Belgium): PageGroup's Michael Page and Page Personnel brands focus on permanent and temporary placement in middle-management and professional roles (sales, marketing, HR, finance, supply chain, IT) — a near-identical specialization profile to MetiSelect in the same Belgian geography.
