About us
Hi, we are Zortify! We help companies to find out what they really need to know about (future) employees: Their personality. Because today’s skills will be yesterday’s news tomorrow. However, those who have the right characters in the company remain agile. We help companies to constantly adapt to a changing environment. Our AI-based employee diagnostics open up a whole new world of employee insights for companies. And with it, the ability to fill positions with the right personalities and support employees in their further development in a more targeted manner. And it prevents assholes from taking the lead.
We are a diverse team of 25 colleagues. Our base is in Luxembourg. But many of our colleagues work all over the world. We practice what we preach: With the right personalities on board, we can take collaboration to a new level. Our founders, Dr. Marcus Heidbrink and Prof. Dr. Florian Feltes, test what makes good leadership every day and keep our diverse team together.
Our clients include well-known companies such as Mitsubishi, Thalia and Salonkee.
They use our innovative technology in recruiting, for customized onboarding, to tailor their learning & development, to improve their teamwork and/or to shape their culture.
It is extremely important to us to develop AI in line with ethical guidelines and to use it to change the (working) world for the better. We want to make technology explainable. That’s why we invest in AI research and integrate it into our products. Zortify is not only one of the most innovative start-ups in Luxembourg, but also a certified research institution.
