In the beginning of 2008 ACE HR Services became a part of the global Hogan Assessment System family. Our strategic partnership with the American company resulted in brand new and unique for Bulgaria tools for the various purposes of Talent Management.

More than 25 years ago, Dr. Hogan and his wife rediscover the needs of the business world and create a system for personality profiling entirely for the needs of organizational psychology. The System consists of three inventories covering different aspects of the human personality. It is founded upon leading personality theories and empirical material collected for more than 20 years and based on the results of over 1 000 000 people tested worldwide. A distinctive feature of Hogan Assessment System is that it translates into an easy-to-understand language our needs, strengths, reactions under stress and motivation mechanisms, thus making our behavior predictable.

The financial market crisis has affected significantly the topic of Human Capital. According to a report of the Boston Consultancy Group, Talent Management will be this year’s accent in Human Resources. A total of 30 % from companies worldwide will experience Top Management changes; 26 % are restructuring and 19 % will undergo acquisition or merger. The need to redefine business strategy and development direction dictates an assessment of the existing company talent. How do we keep our talents, who are the team members who will bring change and who do we need to let go?

ACE HR Services are the first in Bulgaria to introduce a comprehensive Talent Management System – Hogan Assessment System. By using the System, the Human Resources professional is able to select the most appropriate candidate for the organization, identify talents and create top leaders. The Hogan Assessment System comprises three inventories:

Hogan Personality Inventory – provides information for our strengths and development areas. It is designed to predict success at work.

Hogan Development Survey – our dark side, the sunken rocks in front of team members. It is a unique instrument designed to predict career success hindrances.

Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory – The results from this inventory describe our inner world, outlining ten needs and motivators deeply ingrained to directly affect our goals, interests and identity.

Based on the results from the three inventories different profiles can be created solutions for Talent Acquisition, Individual Development, Leader Potential Assessment, Couching, Performance Management, Career Development, Reward Management, Training, etc.

People are irrational. Human personality is a complex and intricate evolutionary creation. The only thing that is predictable and manageable is behavior. When the people within an organization and their abilities are directly connected to business goals and financial success, the detection, development and retention of talent is a priority of the HR professional.
