Talent on board

Discover potential

Need to select someone for a job and want to be sure of your choice? Do you see potential in employees and do you want to know exactly what they have to offer? Our screening and assessment services provide detailed insight into the qualities, motivations, values and potential of people.

25 years of experience

Our talent analyses are used for individual talent development as well as for strategic talent management and HR policy. We work with experienced assessors who think along with the client and who can place results in the right context, thanks to our extensive experience.

Unlocking Potential

Pontes believes that people have the power to develop themselves. But to know where you want to go, you first have to know where you stand. Our assessments do not only chart potential, they also provide insights into the development possibilities. We have been doing this successfully
for 25 years using the Employeneurship methodology.

See who someone truly is

A CV tells you what someone has done. But how do you know what they’re capable of? With the right screening and assessment, you uncover more than just competencies you gain insight into potential, behaviour and capacity for development.

That kind of insight is what makes the difference between a good and a sustainable match. Our assessments are designed to help organisations make better decisions: for hiring, internal mobility, team development or strengthening leadership. We combine in-depth behavioural analysis with smart tooling and years of experience in the high-tech sector.

Always personal, always applicable, and always aligned with your context and ambitions. Whether you’re looking for more grip on your recruitment process or development data to support growth, Pontes gives you the insight to move forward.

AI Based Coaching

Team Assessment

A balanced team consists of people with complementary qualities and skills. Our team assessments map these qualities and analyze talent gaps.

Multiple intelligence and the Q-model

An essential part of Employeneurship is the Q-model. This development model states that every person possesses multiple types of intelligences. With the Q-model, human potential can be measured on the basis of competencies and work values.

These qualities are linked to the different intelligence types – the so-called Q’s. This creates a structure in which competencies can be systematically developed through practical coaching and training, aimed at the qualities that an employee and the employer want to improve.

CQ

The CQ concerns the development of hard skills and mental strength, and determines how well someone can observe and reason through knowledge. This is necessary for the development, testing and dissemination of one’s own (senior) vision.

EQ

EQ is about feeling, reflecting and connecting. Soft skills and cooperation take center stage. EQ embraces the knowledge of one’s own system and behavioral patterns, increasing self-awareness making behavior a choice.

LQ

The LQ measures the development of personal leadership and the extent to which someone works based on their own needs, passions and intrinsic motivations. This affects proactiveness, responsibility and autonomy.

PQ

PQ determines the potential for self-management. It concerns the ability to work effectively with the internal and external world, organizing and prioritizing as needed. This is necessary, for example, to deal with work pressure and expectations from the environment.

XQ

Developing the different Q’s leads to improvement of personal effectiveness and the potential to achieve results, summarized in XQ: Execution Power. XQ is therefore the sum of the other Qs.
