Want to spot exceptional talent before anyone else? BrainsFirst makes cognitive abilities measurable and predictable. This provides your organization with an objective picture of the cognitive strength and growth potential of (future) employees.
How? By looking beyond a resume or work experience and truly understanding the brain. This lets you evaluate talent based on their cognitive abilities, instead of just what's already listed on paper.
As the only provider in the market, BrainsFirst works with real scientists, reliable data, and proven methods. No empty promises or fashionable tests, but hard scientific insights that fundamentally improve your selection and development decisions.
With our personalized Brain Profiles, we not only predict performance but also what development employees need to optimally grow within their role or organization. Our approach is used worldwide by companies, sports organizations, and educational institutions that want to recognize talent early and develop it strategically.
Especially when experience or diplomas tell you little, our brain measurements help to discover what is present: potential, learning capacity, and adaptability. This makes talent development concrete, measurable, and future-oriented.
Every team is different. But why does collaboration run smoothly in one team, while it remains sluggish in another? BrainsFirst reveals how the cognitive diversity within teams influences their performance. From quick decision-makers to thorough thinkers, from creative minds to analytical planners - every brain delivers unique value. By understanding these differences and utilizing them strategically, organizations strengthen their team effectiveness, communication, and productivity. The result: better-performing teams and employees who are sustainably deployed based on their strengths.
BrainsFirst uncovers hidden talents, skills, and competencies within your team. Employees are often unaware of these qualities, but with the right insights and targeted development, they can convert them into valuable capabilities for the organization. This helps you discover which next steps are logical in the development of your people, and who has the potential to take on new roles or skills that your organization will need in the future.
You probably already have the best talent in house, but it is not always visible yet. With our insights, you gain a completely new perspective on your organization: an objective view of what employees are truly capable of, not just what they are currently doing.
In sports like football, invisible cognitive skills often make the difference between winning and losing. BrainsFirst maps these hidden talents using scientifically validated insights into players' brains. This provides a complete and objective player profile, helping you not only discover the star players of tomorrow but also develop their athletic skills in a targeted way. This is done based on their natural talents and personal style, ensuring they learn and grow optimally. With this approach, you give your team an edge you can truly feel on the field.
With the BrainsFirst certification, you, as an HR, L&D, recruitment, or talent professional, get practical knowledge and smart tools to truly understand talent. You'll learn to apply brain insights to career development, learning & development, mobility, and career planning. This ensures talent isn't just recognized but also grows in the right direction. It's practical, accessible, and immediately applicable.
Our platform combines game-based brain measurements with scientific precision to provide insight into the learning ability and cognitive strength of people within organizations. The games are fully developed in-house and scientifically validated, ensuring they deliver reliable and objective results.
With the NeurOlympics, you discover how people process information, make decisions under pressure, and develop new skills. You see which talents and skills naturally align with their brain and how to develop them optimally.
These insights form the basis for better talent management and development: they help you make the potential within your organization visible and facilitate targeted growth.
If you know what you’re capable of, you can achieve a career breakthrough. Through the Employability Center at Atos and Eviden, we successfully implemented BrainsFirst to help employees who are losing their jobs internally due to automation and offshoring. This gave them insight into their natural talents, which they could then use to find a suitable new role.
We constantly look for relevant innovation and see cognitive data in respect to a very specific profile of a future professional football player as an added value for us. We want to have a holistic view.
