About Azuro

Recruitment is about more than finding the right CV.

Azuro was founded in 2011 by Raf Steenssens, an experienced recruiter, and was joined in 2012 by partner Bart Bernaerts, a lawyer with experience in the insurance sector. From the outset, the focus has been on specialised recruitment, based on a thorough understanding of the role, the organisation, and the professional.

Over the years, Azuro has built a strong network and in-depth market knowledge within finance and the broader financial sector. Today, we support organisations and professionals across areas including sales, management, finance, risk, actuarial, legal, compliance, banking, and insurance.

Our services include permanent recruitment, interim management & consultancy, and assessments. Clients also regularly rely on our network for specialised assignments outside our core areas of expertise.

Our approach remains the same: personal, transparent, and focused on sustainable matches.
