Team & organisation
People on their function, not on their title
For SME organizations that want to base HR on actual functions and gifts — not on generic job profiles.
Many HR instruments work from the organization toward the person: here is a job profile, who fits into it? JANE works the other way around: what is in this person, and how does that fit into our organization. For SME companies that want to recruit, develop, and compose teams in a person-centered way, that is a fundamentally different starting point.
Does this sound familiar?
- You have high turnover or disengagement in roles where people 'fit on paper'.
- Recruitment feels like gambling — people seem the same but function completely differently.
- You have people who underperform in their role, but of whom everyone knows 'they're in the wrong seat'.
- You want more than a personality test in the recruitment process.
What Jane® does for you
Jane Company functions as a framework
The fully developed 'book 6 company functions with competency check' offers a framework that links the 27 Jane functions to concrete company roles and competencies.
Applicable in recruitment
JANE is used for key positions to look beyond the CV and assessment center toward the actual function fit.
Applicable in development
Existing employees gain, through a personal JANE trajectory, insight into the direction in which they can grow sustainably — often a different direction than the organization had expected.
Applicable in team composition
When setting up new teams or reorganizations, JANE uses the profiles to deliberately compose a function portfolio.
What does the journey look like?
- 1
Introduction with management
1.5 hours
What is your HR question, and does JANE fit as an instrument.
- 2
Pilot — management or MT
Per person, 3–4 sessions
Start with management or the management team itself, so you experience the instrument on yourselves first.
- 3
Company implementation
Tailored
Deployment in recruitment, development, or team composition, depending on priority.
- 4
Train-the-trainer (optional)
Separate module
For organizations that want to deploy JANE structurally: training of internal HR people.
This fits you if…
- SME organizations of 20 to 250 employees.
- Management teams that see HR strategically, not as administration.
- Companies with a specific HR question (recruitment, internal mobility, team building).
Less suitable if…
- Organizations that mainly want to introduce standard job profiles.
- Companies that want to use JANE as a 'one-off screening instrument' — it is too far-reaching for that.
- Organizations in acute crisis where HR renewal does not fit right now.
The method behind this journey
JANE has offered a business application for more than ten years under the names 'Jane Management Consultants' and 'Jane Advisers, Coaches and Trainers'. The business framework — book 6 company functions with competency check — is fully developed but is offered commercially on a selective basis.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as an MBTI, Insights, or DISC implementation?
Methodological overlap but deeper in substance. JANE works with 27 functions (vs. 4–16 types in other instruments) and looks explicitly at blind spot and compensation — not only at preferred style.
What does this cost for an organization?
That depends on the scope: a pilot with the management team, a broad recruitment instrument, or an organization-wide implementation. Request a tailored quote.
Is JANE already being used organization-wide anywhere?
JANE has been used selectively in SMEs and at a few non-profit organizations. Ask at intake for the most current cases.
Is JANE compatible with other HR instruments?
Yes. JANE profiles are often used alongside standard instruments as an additional layer — not as a replacement.
A final step
Getting people onto their actual function is not a luxury but a return on investment. Schedule an introduction with your management — without obligation and with the scope determined in advance.
