    Introducing Lumenii

    We are a team of psychologists and HR experts. Our mission is to help organisations get the most from their people.

    We understand how to measure talent accurately and translate these outcomes into positive organisational impact. Talent and strategy are inextricably linked. Great people make effective organisations.

    We invest in understanding your needs and partner with you to transform your talent. Rapid results are just as crucial as long-lasting value.

    Lumenii’s goal is excellent talent, with a focus on efficiency, accuracy, fairness and consistency. Our world-class online SaaS platforms integrate data across the talent management lifecycle. Our team of experts is on hand to support your organisation and your people. 

    Our story

    Lumenii's history is linked to HFMtalentindex (founded in Amsterdam, 1997) and Assessio (founded in Stockholm, 1954), the market leaders in the Netherlands and Nordics regions, respectively.

    HFMtalentindex and Benjamin Buckingham set up a local subsidiary in 2015, to bring market-leading products to the African continent. Full local research and accreditation with the HPCSA were undertaken before the market launch.

    In 2019, the Assessio International Group acquired HFMtalentindex International, including HFMtalentindex South Africa, as part of its drive to build a dominant force in Europe.

    Early 2020, the South African operation was spun out into a wholly-owned South African limited company, with rights to Assessio Group technologies. Neither the local entity nor the local team changed in any way in this spin-out. We are proud to have achieved BBBEE level 3 in 2021 and strive for a BBBEE level 2 in 2022.

    In line with its new independent identity, our South African organisation has been renamed Lumenii. We maintain our strong links to the Assessio Group, bringing Assessio solutions to Africa.
