With brain data, you choose the right talent, prevent mismatches, and invest in future talent


From talent to high-performer
What we do

From talent to high-performer

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.

The brains behind strong teamwork
What we do

The brains behind strong teamwork

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.

Talent identification for growth and mobility
What we do

Talent identification for growth and mobility

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.

What we do

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.

Pieter TalsmaTalent & Employability Manager, Atos

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.
