Performia was founded in 2001 by Mr. Marten Runow in order to help businesses around the world attract, select and hire productive personnel in order to expand their companies.

It can be very costly to hire the wrong candidate and unfortunately most businesses have experienced the pain of hiring someone who looked great in the interview but later turned out to be unproductive and in some cases outright destructive for the company.

Performia uses an advanced system for on-line testing and interviews to locate the real Performers who wants to get results and who, in fact, CAN get results. The speed of the system and its accuracy helps you to quickly find the right person for your business and the training we deliver makes it possible for you to recognize the Performer when you see him/her and know how to care for your personnel in order to create a winning and expanding business.

In order to effectively help companies to handle their hiring lines and to and to increase their production Mr.  Marten Runow delivered seminars on the subject of hiring, personnel and the use of testing in this area to business executives and owners. He started of in Russia where he delivered together with Vladimir Sidorenko as a translator and they delivered to thousands of business executives and owners. With his vast experience in the area of testing and personnel the response to this seminar was beyond expectations and the demand for the Performia Seminar is higher than ever. To meet this growing demand Marten Runow started training other Performia Staff who had shown great results in their own production and evaluation and now Performia Seminars are being delivered by 8 people around the world.

The Performia Seminar can be delivered for 10 days, 8, 5 and even 3 days. The level of information acquired varies depending on the length of the seminar, but already after 3 days companies experience a big difference in production and also it straightens out their hiring lines.

While Performia will help a company by testing and evaluating the results of the candidates, most companies eventually want to learn how to handle the process, including the online system, themselves and thus attend the Performia Seminar. It is most common that an executive or owner first attends a shorter seminar themselves to get a good understanding and then sends their Hiring Manager for the longer seminar. In some countries we also deliver the training online, complete with drills and practicals.
