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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
