Mission
The economy is a constantly changing system. To stay ahead of the curve and capitalize on every new opportunity, you need business agility with built-in adaptability on the part of management. Good isn’t good enough; only a high-performing organization can survive.
We want to ensure that managers and management teams approach 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 leadership and want to support every company in this endeavor.
Vision
The success or failure of any modern business starts at the top. So continue to build on the strengths of your management team.
Our vision is that anyone can be a star within an organization, provided they are in the right position and make the most of their own talents and motivations. Our goal is to support organizations in selecting the right managers and in developing and training management teams, so that they can achieve their organizational goals and create shared value.
History of Company Stars
Management Stars is an online platform that also offers the Company Stars tests of the same name. Management Stars B.V. develops these tests in collaboration with Deen, which acts as the exclusive distribution and licensing partner for the European market on behalf of Worldaspect B.V.
The tests published by Management Stars are reliable, proven tools for uncovering “hidden” motivations and personality traits. They are developed in collaboration with various academic institutions, including universities and behavioral science centers.
Thanks to a proven track record of using scientifically based methods, Management Stars is a valuable tool for any organization that takes the potential of its managers and professionals seriously and wants to fully harness it.
For managers, self-awareness provides insight into personal growth; for executives, understanding what motivates their managers enables them to assemble a seamlessly complementary leadership team.
So unlock the psychology behind performance: identify rough diamonds, polish them into shining stars, strengthen your A-team, and boost your competitive edge.
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 personality traits and underlying motivations, so that it becomes clear how a person performs, what strengths and pitfalls are associated with that performance, and what opportunities for development exist.
The Roots of Deen
Deen’s history dates back to 1937, when L. Deen established himself as an independent consultant in Rotterdam, as one of the four pioneers in the field of recruitment and selection. In 1987, Deen transferred his operations to G.P. Hazelzet, who took over the firm. The organization was subsequently acquired and expanded by Frank P. Hazelzet and Dr. Gertrude Smit. Since then, Deen has developed into a renowned player in the industry, offering a comprehensive range of services that includes online and offline assessments, Executive Search & Recruitment, and Management Development. At Deen, quality is our top priority, as evidenced by our preferred partner contracts and the high reliability and quality of our advice over a long to very long period.
Based on scientific research
Management Stars was developed based on scientific research and is grounded in the latest insights and developments in personality psychology.
This test is deliberately unusual and surprising, precisely because it is scientifically rigorous, completely objective, and yields measurable results.
“Light a fire or make apple juice?”
“Lead an expedition or trim a spruce tree?”
Management Stars was developed by a team of experienced psychologists and Dr. F.P. Hazelzet, each of whom has made a name for themselves in the field. As a result, the test is grounded in a broad range of knowledge and insights. For many years, this team has conducted research into essential personality dimensions and how they influence behavior and performance. Thanks to this in-depth expertise, Management Stars can help organizations select the best candidates and develop managers and professionals.
The scientific foundation of Management Stars continues to evolve and is regularly updated based on new insights, feedback, and client data. This ensures that we continue to meet the high standards we set for our scientific tools and that our clients always receive the most up-to-date and reliable test information.

“Since February 2019, we’ve been using CompanyStars by Deen, a fast and effective test that gives us a clear understanding not only of whether we’re hiring the right candidate, but also of whether we have people within our organization who can advance to a higher level. In addition to gaining insight into the type of person (through color combinations), you can also clearly see whether someone can handle a stressful situation well—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."
