Freelance IT recruitment in Antwerp and Flanders.
A project needs expertise your team temporarily lacks. Galactus Talent finds independent IT & Digital professionals for organisations in Antwerp and across Flanders. Our freelance recruitment starts with the assignment, not with a list of available CVs.
The right expertise is one part of the match. Availability, commitment, rate and working arrangements have to fit just as well.
When is a freelance IT professional the right choice?
For a defined project, a temporary capacity need or specialist expertise you do not need permanently. For example software development, a cloud migration, a data initiative or guiding an IT project. First we make clear which result you expect and which responsibility the freelancer takes on.
Freelance is not an automatic answer to every open vacancy. If knowledge and ownership need to stay in your team for the long term, a permanent hire may fit better. We weigh that up during the intake.
A targeted search for the expertise your assignment needs
Software development & integration
Developers and Software Engineers for new applications, integrations or modernisation. The existing stack, quality expectations and collaboration with your team define the profile.
Cloud, infrastructure & security
Specialists for migrations, technical improvements and security questions. We clarify the environment, required access, responsibility and handover.
Data, analytics & AI
Data Engineers, analysts and AI specialists for a concrete information or automation need. The solution to deliver is central, not the name of the tool.
Project management & architecture
IT Project Managers, Business Analysts and architects who connect choices and delivery. Stakeholders, dependencies and decision-making authority are part of the briefing.

Freelance recruitment with an informed assessment
Sven Van Roosenbroek's experience as Interim CIO and IT Director helps translate an assignment into concrete selection questions. What should this professional be able to solve independently? Where is consultation needed? Which knowledge must stay with your team afterwards?
We look beyond a list of technologies and name what has been confirmed and what still needs to be discussed. Relevant experience does not automatically mean someone is available, accepts the proposed rate or can be on site on the requested days.
From assignment to clear collaboration
Defining the assignment
We discuss the result, scope, technical context, duration, commitment and budget. We distinguish essential experience from useful extras.
Finding and aligning profiles
We test fit on content, interest and practical conditions. You get insight into relevant experience as well as the points still open for your conversation.
Agreements before the start
We clarify start date, commitment, rate, responsibilities and follow-up. The collaboration only starts once the parties involved have confirmed the arrangements.
Expertise that reaches beyond delivery.
A cloud migration is not finished once workloads have moved. Operations, security and costs must stay under control after the handover too. A data platform has to be usable for the people who work with it. New software must be maintainable by your own team.
That is why, in freelance recruitment, we also discuss how the assignment ends: which results are accepted, who takes over operations and which documentation and knowledge must stay behind? We check whether the professional has carried comparable responsibility and can work independently within your technical and organisational context.
From Boom, we support freelance IT recruitment in Antwerp and across Flanders. The aim is targeted reinforcement that moves the work forward, without unnecessary dependency afterwards.
Practical questions about freelance IT recruitment
How quickly can a freelancer start?
That depends on the expertise required and actual availability. A suitable profile is not yet a confirmed start. We discuss urgency during the intake and confirm a start date only after aligning with the freelancer.
How do we set budget and rate?
We discuss the expertise, responsibility, duration, commitment and work location. On that basis we check whether your budget is feasible. Fees and commercial terms are agreed in advance, not assumed afterwards.
Do you also search for part-time or hybrid assignments?
That can be part of the request. We agree the number of days, the required presence and the collaboration with your team up front. Whether a specific profile fits also depends on their availability and arrangements.
Is freelance recruitment the same as interim IT leadership?
Not necessarily. Through Galactus Talent we find an external professional for your assignment, possibly a temporary leader. Through Galactus Lead, Sven takes on an IT leadership mandate himself. We keep those two services clearly separate.
Which expertise is missing from your assignment?
Discuss your freelance IT need in Antwerp or elsewhere in Flanders. We bring scope, profile and practical conditions together.
