A niche player
for niche people.

Steve Skills is an independent legal recruitment boutique in BeLux, founded by a brother and sister with complementary skillsets. We specialise in private practice and in-house, for permanent, interim and executive search mandates. Our recruitment consultants are all legally trained, often with experience in a law firm, as in-house counsel or as legal freelancers. We are a niche player for niche people.

Steve Skills was born out of a frustration: ordering a package online often delivers a better experience than niche recruitment. We combine the best of both worlds. The frictionless e-commerce experience handles the administrative side, so our consultants can focus on what matters: "executive search for all": the premium treatment previously reserved for C-level profiles, now available to everyone.

Can't find what you're looking for in our published vacancies? Contact us for a personalised intake, during which we map your profile, needs and wishes. Throughout the process, we communicate transparently and directly, so you are always in the loop.

We work according to three pillars: frictionless, caring and creative. We look for solutions you may not have thought of yourself. Our team members embody our four values: Curiosity, Ambition, Generosity and Ownership. Or as expressed in our company culture: Brains, Balls and No Bleitmuil* (B.B.B.). This is how we deliver on our mission: #BoostingProfessionalEnergy.

See the sparks in our logo? That is what they stand for: everyone has skills, and it is our job to let the right skills shine in the right team.

And our name? It is not about the job, it is about you and your skills. You say 'recruitment', we say 'jobs'. You say 'jobs', we say 'Steve'. So not Steve Jobs, but Steve Skills, and more precisely: legal skills. So you will never forget us. :-)
