“Since February 2019 we have been using Company stars from Deen, 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 use the online Company Stars test to our satisfaction. 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.”
