Company

Oliver Benson is a Belgian strategic IT intermediary. We unlock scarce senior IT expertise within complex organizational contexts and act as a strategic access point where standard sourcing channels fall short.

Selection, structuring and monitoring of the collaboration framework take place according to a clear standard of seniority, sharpness, and discretion.

We are looking for professionals with energy, intelligence & integrity.

Job description

As a Talent Partner at Oliver Benson, you are part of the Consultant Relations domain. In this role, you are responsible for building and maintaining relationships with independent IT consultants and facilitating the matching process on the consultant side, within a strict intermediary framework.

The Talent Partner works together with account managers within the sales domain, who are exclusively responsible for client contact, intake, and commercial proposals directed at clients. From sales, you receive a clearly defined expertise requirement, without involvement in client intake, project definition, or qualification.

Based on this information, you engage with independent consultants to discuss and map out availability, expertise, and collaboration terms. You explore the extent to which profiles align with the provided expertise requirement and compile relevant profile information and potential options for feedback to the account manager, who is responsible for further communication and commercial proposals to the client.

The Talent Partner does not engage in commercial conversations with clients, does not facilitate direct introductions, and is not involved in negotiations, pricing, or contract formation. You do not exert authority over consultants or interfere in the substantive execution of assignments. Your role remains intermediary, relational, and facilitative at all times.

During ongoing collaborations, you act as a point of contact on the consultant side for relational or process-related signals, without operational, substantive, or hierarchical interference. You monitor the progress of the collaboration from a neutral position and contribute to transparent and sustainable partnerships between autonomous parties.

In addition to these core activities, you also contribute, as a supportive secondary activity, to the proactive expansion and internal structuring of the consultant network. This includes market exploration and database management, aimed at improving the quality, discoverability, and relevance of the network.

As a Talent Partner, you:

Maintain and deepen relationships with independent IT consultants

Understand and respect the boundaries of an intermediary role

Feel comfortable in a relationship-focused function without client contact or commercial negotiations

Can correctly interpret expertise requirements without being involved in intake or project definition

Communicate clearly, professionally, and transparently

Have an interest in systematically building and structuring professional networks

Profile

You have 3 to 5 years of experience in recruitment, staffing, consulting, or an intermediary environment where relational work is central

You are relationally strong and genuinely interested in the professional positioning of independent IT consultants

You listen attentively and understand the context, motivations, and expertise of independent professionals without directing or judging

You are able to analyze, structure, and clearly articulate professional information

You build trust through consistency, discretion, and clear communication

You work structured and carefully, with respect for clearly defined role boundaries
