About us
We help managers build productive Teams.
Our purpose
Building, maintaining and developing a team is probably the single most important skill any manager can have, and it is not something to delegate to some non-proven “expert”, because it is you, the manager, who lives with the consequences of a wrong decision. So we make leaders fully functional as Team Builders. Once you know how, you use that knowledge again and again and it never loses its value: instead of firefighting personnel problems, you keep your focus on the next project of business development. Once you have a real team built around you, what you really want to do suddenly becomes possible.
And that is what Performia is all about.

Performia is an International company that deals exclusively in hiring. It was founded by Mårten Runow in 2001 and has since then opened in more than 26 offices around the world with more countries getting ready to start as we speak. Mr Mårten Runow has worked in the field of hiring for over 39 years, specialising in the use of testing for this purpose. At Performia we use Performance Checking and Personality analysis as the main evaluation questionnaires, but also many other tests such as Leadership index, IQ and Aptitude, etc., in order to find the best candidates to help our clients hire only productive people, ones who will be assets to their business.
What we do
Through powerful and yet simple to use Internet-based tools, Performia delivers solutions for any company, small or large. Though the Performia system is fairly new, the principles utilised are well proven and with Performia's background of 23 years experience in recruitment testing, you gain access to both competence and very high technical skill. Since the start in 2001 Performia has grown steadily and currently processes a flow of close to a thousand candidates every week in over 26 countries. Our clients consistently give the system high ratings and express great satisfaction with faster expansion speed, more stable personnel scenes, better profitability, higher job satisfaction and less stress.
We are strengthening the business community through helping companies to grow faster and become more stable by effectively providing them with the know-how and system support to handle their own hiring and evaluation process with constant high quality and success.
