The vision: accurate personnel selection for all decision makers
Why did we do this? – that’s important to us
Many decision makers still work with general interview questions, (your strengths and weaknesses“), which do not refer to the position to be filled. Or the interview turns into a show of socially desired answers, (“Are you able to work in a team?“ – “Yes!”)
We want to get away from the airy-fairy interviews. The decision maker will use the personnel selection tool in an efficient process to find the best applicant to suit the requirements. The applicant can show his competencies in a clearly structured interview.
Scientific aptitude diagnostics forms the basis of our work. The answer lies in more than 100 years of successful research: to make a precise selection, the decision maker requires a clear structure within the selection process as well as a distinct, description of the requirements directly related to the position.
Grades, reports and showmanship are not deciding. The proven specific and interdisciplinary competencies of the applicant are what count. Not forgetting the social experience in the selection process: nobody has to be somebody they’re not.
For the development of the personnel selection tool, we have worked with a renowned scientific institute, and will continue this cooperation within the framework of the evaluations.
How do we work together?
Together, we have been developing a host of websites and web applications for many years. The personnel selection tool is the logical continuation of an extremely good cooperation – our work is based on the same values.

„In the many years I have been working as a consultant, I have often seen people accept a position that doesn’t fit to them. This has critical consequences for organizations, for leading positions in particular. We aim to support decision makers in making a well-founded decision and keep the effort to a minimum – the smart, digital way.”
