Laurens was active both in SMEs and multinationals in Belgium and observed there a never-ending challenge: businesses eager to grow faced an ongoing shortage of skilled labor for certain bottleneck professions.
Steven`s career brought him to The Philippines, working for multinationals and starting his own business. There he saw first-hand the abundance of motivated, talented individuals, however many of them were facing limited job prospects and social mobility.
After countless conversations they decided to pursue a mission to solve both challenges using their complementary experiences and shared values.
A company that would serve as a bridge between the two worlds—one that would not only help Belgian businesses thrive by giving access to a new dedicated workforce but also provide life-changing opportunities for Filipino talent through meaningful employment. Bayani Talent was born.
Bayani means "hero in the community" in Tagalog, the language of the Philippines. It is also used to refer to the millions of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs). They go far to support their families at home by working abroad. We believe that they will support Belgian companies' growth and vice versa the Belgian companies will enable their workers to realize their dreams.
