    Our Story

    Lumenii's history is linked to HFMTalentindex (founded in Amsterdam, 1997) and Assessio (founded in Stockholm, 1954), the market leader in the Netherlands and Nordics regions, respectively.

    HFMTalentindex and Benjamin Buckingham set up a local subsidiary in 2015, to bring market-leading products to the African continent. Full local research and accreditation with the HPCSA were undertaken before the market launch.

    In 2019, the Assessio International Group acquired HFMtalentindex International, including HFMtalentindex South Africa, to build a dominant force in Europe.

    In early 2020, the South African operation was spun out into a wholly-owned South African limited company, with rights to Assessio Group technologies. Neither the local entity nor the local team changed in any way in this spin-out. 

    In line with its new independent identity, our South African organisation has been renamed Lumenii. We maintain our strong links to the Assessio Group, bringing Assessio solutions to Africa.
