We’re Opening BeDevs to the Public 🎉

Hiring developers in Belgium is hard, slow, and expensive. Recruiters often tell me how overwhelming it can be to filter through applications. On the other side, some developers receive multiple offers within a week, while equally talented peers struggle to even land a single interview.
The difference isn’t always talent, it can be visibility, network or even both.
That’s the problem I wanted to solve when I started building BeDevs in my free time. And today, I’m very proud and happy to finally announce:

👉 BeDevs is officially open to the public in open beta.

Why BeDevs?

I created BeDevs because I believe the hiring process should be fair, transparent, and efficient for both sides.
Recruiters shouldn’t be buried under piles of resumes, and developers shouldn’t feel invisible in the process.
Our mission is simple: give every developer in Belgium a fair shot, and give recruiters the tools to hire smarter and faster while keeping the human connection at the heart of recruiting.

What You Get as a Recruiter

In this open beta, recruiters and companies hiring developers in Belgium get access to features designed to make hiring smoother and smarter:

  • AI evaluation of applications → clear insights into strengths and fit.
  • Smart score matching (0–100%) → based on skills, seniority, salary, location, and more.
  • Clean and fast workflows → review, update, and close applications in one click.
  • Free unlimited job postings for over a month 🚀 (Yes, you heard it right, it's free of charge during the whole public beta period!)
  • Analytics & insights → see what’s working and improve your time to hire.

And much more!

And for Developers

Developers also get access to tools that make it easier to showcase their skills and land opportunities that truly fit:

  • Upload your resume to auto‑fill your profile.
  • See a transparent match score on every job you apply to.
  • Apply with confidence and track your progress in one place.
  • Chat directly with recruiters only when you want to.
  • Privacy by default: recruiters only see your profile once you apply.
  • And as a bonus: check out our free resume reviewer tool to get instant feedback on your resume with our free resume review tool.

Why Join Now?

This is the very beginning of BeDevs. That means:

  • ⭐ Recruiters who join today can post unlimited jobs for free during the open beta.
  • ⭐ Beta testers who complete a short survey at the end of this period will receive a 50% discount on launch pricing for 6 months as a thank you for helping us grow.

A Personal Note

Launching BeDevs publicly is more than just releasing a product. It’s the first big step toward something I deeply believe in: a stronger, fairer Belgian tech ecosystem.
This is still just the start. We don’t have all the answers yet, but with feedback, continuous learning, and the help of this community, I’m confident that we can build something impactful together.
To everyone who tested the platform before launch: thank you for your trust. To everyone joining today: welcome !

I can’t wait to see what we’ll build together.
