Talent management companies Deltaworx and Beyond Mars have announced their coming together to form a new flexible employment entity.
Deltaworx, a Belgian talent management company specialising in providing enterprises with student workers, has merged with Beyond Mars, which specialises in supplying the hospitality, hosting, and other industries with appropriate talent and payroll solutions. “What started years ago as an entrepreneurial story about student work, is now growing into a broader Belgian group in flexible employment,” said Deltaworx CEO Jeroen Poels.
Together, the companies intend to tackle flexible employment across Belgium, with ambitions to fill more than 80,000 vacancies annually. “Behind that figure is a clear ambition: to help companies with high-quality, agile and affordable personnel solutions and to offer young people valuable work experience,” Jeroen noted.
The new group also aims to more than double its turnover and significantly strengthen its market share. “This step feels like a logical acceleration that we have been working towards for some time: more scale, more expertise, more professionalisation and, above all, even more impact for customers and flexible employees,” he explained.
Jeroen will become CEO of the new group, while Jan Gorinsek will retain his position on the board and lead the hospitality business unit.
Deltaworx will become part of Alychlo, the investment vehicle of Marc Coucke and already owner of Beyond Mars. "I met Marc Coucke in 2022, and we clicked immediately," Joroen told Di Tijd. "We had already chatted about a collaboration, but the timing was never right. Now it is."
“I strongly believe that this is one of those moments when one plus one can really become three,” Jeroen added, also thanking lawyer Anton Buntinx and VD&P Corporate Finance partner Laurent Linkens, who were his advisors on the deal. “You never take such steps alone, and their role in this was particularly valuable.”
While things are changing in the background, both companies have promised that the service clients are familiar with will continue as before under the same brands. Deltaworx will still focus on student work and young talent outside of hospitality, while Beyond Mars remains active through the brands Beyond the Serve (restaurants and catering), Beyond the Smile (hosting & brand ambassadors) and PayPeople (payroll).
“Our mission has extra fuel and goes full speed ahead,” assured Beyond Mars CEO Jan Gorinsek.
