Our story

We began as a network under the name Balance HR in 2009, specializing in HR interim management to bridge gaps in HR teams and support their development. 

Over the years, the network grew, united by the belief that HR interim management can drive not just continuity but also meaningful growth.

In 2024, we became Beam® to better reflect what we strive to do for you: enabling HR teams and HR interim managers to shine. Through collaboration and shared knowledge, we go beyond temporary solutions to help you drive sustainable progress.

Thank you for being part of our journey.

Beaming regards,


Edward Vanhoutte and the Beam team
