Portrait of Stijn Mathees, Founder & Managing Director
I see my job as my passion, so it doesn't feel like work. It loads me every day with new energy.

Founder & Managing Director

Stijn Mathees

For twenty years, I worked in operational management — leading teams, supporting managers, and keeping the daily business of large international organisations moving.

My work was always about people: coaching colleagues, building teams, and supporting managers as they grew into their roles, across operations in Belgium, Germany and France, and beyond.

M.S. Management & Outstaffing Services grew out of that work. Clients kept asking me to help staff their project teams, with one argument: a manager who knows the company culture can cast the right DNA for the organisation. So I merged 20 years of management experience with the recruiter role, and a one-man consultancy organically became a company.

What I've learned in those years is simple. Casting purely on hard skills doesn't get you there. Hard skills can be trained. Mindset can't be adapted.

The people who succeed in a new environment are the flexible ones. They handle different stakeholders, work across cultures, and adjust how they deliver a message depending on who's in the room: deep in the detail with an operational team, highly focused with senior management.

Values

What we hold on to

  • Respect for people

    Skills can be trained. Mindset can't be adapted.

  • Long-term thinking

    We build toward the transfer, not toward the invoice in week one.

  • Humility

    “Be humble, and keep learning.” That's what we ask of everyone we place.

  • On the ground

    We assess the collaboration in the real work, not in a status call.

  • Modesty in promises

    We set realistic expectations and consistently deliver more.

  • Fairness

    We help where we can, and we don't charge for every small request.
