About Lumenii

Lumenii’s history is linked to European leaders in assessment technology: HFMtalentindex (founded in 1997) and Assessio (founded in 1954), with over 70 years of psychometric expertise.

Founded in 2015 as HFMtalentindex in South Africa, Lumenii introduced market-leading products to Africa, supported by local research and HPCSA accreditation.

In 2020, we became a 100% South African-owned company and rebranded as Lumenii. We continue to offer Assessio solutions while maintaining strong ties with the Assessio Group.

We are committed to diversity and proudly hold Level 1 B-BBEE contributor status.
