About the Company

The General Commissariat for Refugees and Stateless Persons is a federal independent administration. Its mission is to provide protection to individuals who are at risk of persecution or serious harm if they return to their country of origin. In accordance with Belgian, European, and international standards, the Commissariat examines each application for international protection in an individual, objective, and impartial manner.

A modernization program has been launched within the Commissariat, translated into the eDossier program. It is a highly ambitious program, consisting of several projects, with a very tight schedule. To further shape and develop the program, we are looking for strong profiles who wish to engage temporarily (fixed-term contracts, immediately terminable, renewable upon positive evaluation) until the delivery, foreseen at least until the end of 2028.
