Mission
The economy is a constantly changing system. To stay ahead and respond to every new opportunity, you need business agility with built-in management adaptability. Good is not good enough; only a high-performing organization can survive.
We want to ensure that managers and management teams face their responsibilities and challenges with passion and energy by providing insight into their unique personalities and motivations. This enables them to grow personally and contribute to the success of their organization. We believe in purpose-driven employment and want to support every company in this.
Vision
The success or failure of any modern business begins at the top. Therefore, build on the strengths of your management team.
Our vision is that everyone can be a star within an organization, provided they are in the right position and use their own talents and drives to the maximum. Our goal is to support organizations in selecting the right managers and developing and training management teams so that they achieve the intended organizational goals and create joint value creation.
History Company Stars
Management Stars is an online platform on which the Company Stars tests of the same name are also offered. Management Stars B.V. develops these tests in cooperation with Deen, which acts as exclusive distribution and licensing partner for the European market on behalf of Worldaspect B.V.
The tests issued by Management Stars are reliable, proven tools for uncovering “hidden” drives and personality traits. They are developed in cooperation with various scientific institutions, including universities and behavioral science centers.
With a proven track record of scientifically based methods, Management Stars is a valuable tool for any organization that takes seriously and wants to fully utilize the potential of its managers and professionals.
For managers, self-knowledge means visibility into personal growth; for directors, understanding the motivations of their managers offers the opportunity to assemble a seamlessly complementary top team.
Therefore, unlock the psychology behind performance: recognize rough diamonds, polish them into shining stars, strengthen your A-team and increase your competitiveness.
The psychologists behind Management Stars are experienced researchers, which ensures that the testing methods and analyses are of the highest quality. The goal: to provide in-depth insight into character traits and underlying motivations, so that it becomes clear how a person performs, which strengths and weaknesses belong to them and which development opportunities exist.
The roots of Deen
The history of Deen dates back to 1937, when L. Deen established himself as an independent consultant in Rotterdam, as one of four pioneers in the field of recruitment and selection. In 1987, Deen transferred his activities to Drs. G.P. Hazelzet, who took over the agency. Subsequently, the organization was taken over and expanded by Drs. Frank P. Hazelzet and Dr. Gertrude Smit. Since then, Deen has developed into a reputable player in the industry, with an extensive range of services that includes online and offline assessments, Executive Search & Recruitment and Management Development. At Deen, quality comes first and this is confirmed by our preferred partner contracts and high reliability & quality of advice over a long to very long period of time.
Based on scientific research
Management Stars was developed on the basis of scientific research and is based on the latest insights and developments in personality psychology.
This test is intentionally unusual and surprising precisely because it is scientifically rigorous, completely objective. And with measurable results.
“Lighting a fire or making apple juice?”
“Lead an expedition or trim a tree?”
Management Stars was created by a team of experienced psychologists and Drs. F.P. Hazelzet, who have each earned their spurs in the profession. As a result, the test rests on a broad palette of knowledge and insights. This team has spent years researching essential personality dimensions and how they influence behavior and performance. This in-depth expertise allows Management Stars to help organizations select the best candidates and develop managers and professionals.
Management Stars’ scientific foundation continues to evolve and is regularly updated based on new insights, feedback and customer data. In this way, we continue to meet the high standards we set for our scientific tools and our customers always receive the most up-to-date and reliable testing information.

"Since February 2019 we have been using CompanyStars by 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 obtains through the reporting."
"For recruitment and selection of our traders and shipping managers, we satisfactorily use the online Company Stars test. 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."
