Roots of Deen

Based on scientific research
Company Stars was developed on the basis of scientific research and is based on the latest insights and developments in the field of personality psychology. The goal was to develop a psychometric instrument that can support organizations in the development and selection of managers, sales account managers, professionals and (management) teams.
Company Stars was developed by a team of experienced psychologists and drs. FP. Hazelzet who have each earned their spurs in the field, making the test based on a wide range of knowledge and insights. This team has spent years researching key personality dimensions and how they affect behavior and performance. Through this in-depth knowledge of personality and behavior, Company Stars is able to help organizations select the best candidates for a position and develop managers and professionals.
The scientific research behind Company Stars is constantly evolving and is regularly updated based on new insights and feedback & data from buyers. This allows Company Stars to continue to meet the high standards we set for our scientific instruments and provide our customers with the most current and reliable testing information.
What sets Company Stars apart:
Company Stars differs from other test providers in that it explicitly positions itself in the higher-quality segment of the market. The Company and Management Stars tests replace in some cases the traditional assessment that does not take place online making it an ideal choice for companies looking for a high-quality testing solution at an affordable price.
In addition, Company Stars is unique in that it is based on decades of experience and has been continuously improved based on input from customers and academia. This means constantly adapting the test to changing market needs and the latest insights from science using data science. An example is 24/7 data analysis that maps the “gap” between high-performing and newly recruiting managers in “real time” and displays a percent success rate. This is how we achieve our clients’ desired organizational goals and get managers and management teams in the right place.

“Since February we have been using Company Stars from Dane, a quick and good test that gives us perfect insight into whether we are bringing in the right candidate, but also whether we have people within our organization who can advance to a higher level. Besides insight into the type of person (by means of color combinations) you can also see whether someone can cope well with a stressful situation. Which is essential in our industry.”
“Basically, what kind of person is someone? What kind of style does he/she have, even within a team? Understanding this definitely adds something, also to get a more diverse team with people who can complement each other. You often already have an existing team and what is added has to match.” Conny de Haan used to work with the DISC, but switched to the Company Stars because it is stronger and is very satisfied with the in-depth insight into employees and applicants that she gains through the reporting.”
“For recruitment and selection of our traders and shipping managers, we satisfactorily use the online Company Stars test. Especially insight into sales styles, is someone a hunter or a farmer, is interesting. In addition, the selection diagram clearly shows the extent to which 14 competencies are present in the candidates. In addition to the Company Stars test, we also use the intelligence module to obtain a complete picture of the candidate.”
