Deltasearch joins Dark Light and unites forces
for a total staffing solution in data & IT.
Antwerp, July 11, 2025 – Dark Light, the fast-growing specialist project staffing agency for data and business intelligence, expands with the recruitment activities of Deltasearch.
For Deltasearch's clients and candidates, little changes in practice: the trusted service remains, but gains a new dimension under the wings of Dark Light.
Together, both parties take a strategic step towards a fully integrated
approach for both temporary and permanent hires in data, IT, and business
intelligence.
New name, trusted values
Deltasearch, founded from the renowned student organization Deltaworx, built a solid reputation over the years in permanent recruitment within data and IT.
From now on, by integrating into Dark Light, Deltasearch continues under Dark Light with the same approach, values, and service, but with the added strength of a larger network, deeper expertise, and streamlined processes.
"For our clients, this is not a goodbye, but a promise of more,” says Paul Lepoutre, founder and CEO of Dark Light.
We strengthen what works well, retain the personal approach of Deltasearch, and complement it with our experience in project staffing, consulting, and BI solutions.
From now on, clients will have a single point of contact for all their data and IT needs, temporary or permanent.
With over ten years in IT recruitment, we know: together we are stronger.
By joining forces with Dark Light, we combine deep niche expertise with seamless service under one roof.
This allows us to offer our clients a next-level total solution. We look forward to creating even more value together with Dark Light!
Strategic consolidation for the future
The acquisition is part of Dark Light’s broader growth strategy. The company aims to become the leading center of expertise for data, IT & BI solutions. By combining permanent and temporary hires in one strong offering, clients can count on:
- One uniform approach for all profiles – from freelance BI consultants to permanent data professionals.
- A broader, specialized network of candidates within data, IT, and BI.
- Faster turnaround times and a more efficient recruitment process.
- Maximum continuity and unburdening for ongoing files.
What concretely changes for Deltasearch clients?
The service remains as clients are used to: personal, fast, and result-oriented. The working method stays the same, ongoing processes continue uninterrupted, and quality remains guaranteed.
The only difference? Clients now gain more
possibilities, more profiles, and a stronger platform for their future growth.
