Our model: a Belgian company, a technical team in Tunisia

Our organisation is simple: Green Consulting, a Belgian company, holds your entire contract and manages profile selection, invoicing, oversight and quality from Belgium. Your developers (mainly .NET), analysts and testers work in Tunisia, with our technical partner, around two hours' flight away, working in French or English. For you: a single contractual point of contact and competitive rates, with no compromise on quality.

The partner that will work on your assignment is named in the contract. Green Consulting signs a subcontracting agreement with it and remains your only contractual point of contact.

Why a team in Tunisia?

Many Belgian companies still know little about Tunisia. Yet it is a nearby, French-speaking country that trains several thousand IT engineers every year and has long worked with European companies.

Map: Brussels, Paris and Tunis, about a 2-hour flight, French- and English-speaking team

Engineers trained in French

Engineering studies are taught in French. Our consultants work in French, and most of them also speak fluent English, which allows them to join international teams.

A large pool of engineers

Several thousand IT engineers graduate in the country every year.

Experienced profiles

From junior to senior, almost every profile is available in Tunisia, including experienced profiles, which are often easier to find than on the Belgian market.

The skills you need

Software development, mainly .NET, and other technologies depending on your needs, for example Java, Python, PHP, Angular, React, mobile (Flutter, React Native), SQL Server, Oracle and PostgreSQL databases, and the Azure or AWS cloud. But also analysis, testing and maintenance, on projects carried out for European companies.

Used to working with European companies

France is the leading client of Tunisian IT services, and many French groups operate there.

Proximity

About a 2 h flight from Brussels and from Paris.

Our consultants work in quiet, well-equipped offices, with several screens and equipped meeting rooms: a pleasant environment that keeps them motivated and stable on your project.

How we collaborate

The contract and the follow-up go through Belgium; day to day, your consultants communicate directly with you (dailies, tickets, reviews).

  1. Client contract

    A single contract with Green Consulting in Belgium, which defines the assignment.

  2. Planning

    Defining the profiles needed and coordinating between the Belgian team and the team in Tunisia.

  3. Execution

    Work by the team in Tunisia, supervision from Belgium, direct day-to-day communication with you, secure access via VPN.

A hybrid model

Quality

Teams specialised mainly in .NET, who also work with other technologies depending on your needs, and structured development methods.

Cost

Competitive rates thanks to our partner's production team in Tunisia, with no compromise on quality.

Proximity

A client relationship managed in Belgium and a French- and English-speaking team about a 2 h flight away.

Where our competitive rates come from

Many websites announce savings without saying where they come from. We prefer to explain. Our rates rest on three choices:

  1. A lean structure in Belgium

    Focused on what brings you value: selection, oversight and follow-up.

  2. Our partner's production team in Tunisia

    It handles production in optimised conditions, with consultants who are supervised and stable.

  3. Billing per working day

    No agency fees, no recruitment fees, no hidden commitment.

What you do not pay for

Recruitment costs, the employer costs of an employee, equipment, day-to-day supervision, the administrative management of consultants.

Consultants by the day, in a dedicated team

A single formula, clearly explained.

Billing per working day

You pay for the days worked, nothing else. The daily rate depends on the profile and the length of the assignment; it is agreed together at the proposal stage.

A single monthly invoice

Issued by Green Consulting, with a breakdown of the days per consultant. One invoice, however many consultants you have.

Dedicated team

Your consultants work full-time on your project, like external consultants embedded in your team. Part-time collaboration is possible if your need is smaller.

Duration

An assignment of an agreed length, renewable. It can be stopped by respecting the notice period set out in the contract.

No fixed-price, results-based projects

We do not sell fixed-price “turnkey” projects. You keep direction of the work; we provide the skills.

What is included

Shortlisting of profiles, working equipment, day-to-day supervision and follow-up from Belgium are all part of the service.

You choose your consultants

We never impose a profile on you. The selection process takes place in three stages:

  1. Your criteria

    Technical skills, level of experience, certifications, working language, availability.

  2. Our shortlisting

    We search for and assess candidates, then send you a selection of CVs that meet your criteria.

  3. Your interviews, your decision

    You meet the candidates (by video call), you ask your technical questions, you decide. If no profile suits you, we resume the search.

If you ask for a certification (ISTQB for testers, Microsoft certifications for developers), we take it into account from the shortlisting stage.

Team in a working meeting

The steps of an assignment

A simple, transparent process in which you stay in charge at every step.

  1. You define your need

    Skills, level of experience, certifications, length of the assignment: you describe the profile or the team you need. A simple email or call is enough to get started; we then help you refine the profile if necessary.

  2. We shortlist the profiles

    We identify the consultants who match your criteria and send you a selection of CVs. Each CV comes with a summary of the consultant's background, the technologies they master and their availability.

  3. You choose your consultants

    You conduct the interviews and make the final decision. No consultant joins your project without your agreement. Interviews are held by video call, with your own technical questions or a practical exercise if you wish.

  4. We prepare equipment and access

    Each consultant has a dedicated laptop, additional screens and all the equipment needed to work well, with access dedicated to your assignment. If your security rules require it, they work on your own equipment. We coordinate with your IT department for accounts, VPN, code repositories and collaboration tools. Access to your systems goes through a secure VPN, and the work is done on anonymised data.

  5. Start and follow-up

    Our consultants join your team and take part in all your meetings (daily, sprint planning, refinement, sprint review, retrospective, demos) from meeting rooms equipped with cameras, microphones and screens. You track progress through regular reports, and each month you receive a clear invoice based on the days worked. A Green Consulting contact person in Belgium remains reachable throughout the assignment for any question or adjustment.

What does the start date depend on?

  • On recruiting the profile, if we have to look for it specifically for you.
  • On the availability of the chosen consultant: immediate if they are available, or after the notice period of their current assignment.
  • On preparing equipment and access: quick with our equipment; if you supply your own, allow time for configuration and shipping.

We do not promise a specific lead time: we give you an honest estimate, profile by profile.

What we guarantee

The code is 100% yours

Everything produced during the assignment (code, documentation, scripts, tests) is your property, in your repositories.

Replacement of a consultant

Replacement of a consultant who is not the right fit, with a new profile that you approve in the same way.

Renewable assignment

On the agreed terms, for as long as your project needs.

Option to stop

By respecting the notice period set out in the contract, with no justification required.

Transparency

Regular reports on the work done and a breakdown of the days invoiced.

Follow-up from Belgium

A contact person who knows your file and steps in if something goes wrong.

Security and confidentiality

Your environments, your access

By default, our consultants work in your development and test environments, with anonymised data: they do not see your real data. Access to your servers is only through a secure VPN. If work in production is necessary, it follows your procedures and the access you define.

Contractual undertakings

Confidentiality clauses are part of the contract signed with Green Consulting. A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) can be signed even before any information is exchanged, if you wish.

Dedicated equipment

Each consultant works on a laptop dedicated to your assignment, with dedicated access.

Your equipment if you wish

If your security rules require it, your consultants work on a workstation supplied and configured by you, with your security tools (VPN, authentication, encryption).

Limited access

Consultants only access the systems and data needed for the assignment.

Data protection

Contracts under Belgian law. Confidentiality and the protection of your data are governed by contract, with Green Consulting and with our partner. This website itself collects no data.
