Welcome to ANTES
In the following video, our founder and partner Thomas Fiskbæk shares a personal insight into the approach and work of ANTES.
In use nationwide for years across our 17,000 partners
ANTES Profile is used extensively by our financial advisors, particularly for acquiring new sales partners. The analysis is easy to understand, quick to complete and delivers immediate, appreciative feedback. It adds real value to interviews, provides clear guidance for effective leadership and supports the selection and onboarding of new partners. The remuneration model enables use across the entire network.
Finding and developing the right personalities
As an HR expert with many years of experience, I understand the importance of the right diagnostics in identifying and developing talent. Especially in recruitment and development, I fully recommend ANTES Profile based on my own practical experience. Anyone looking for a diagnostic tool that is simple, fast, easy to understand and broadly applicable will be just as impressed by ANTES Profile as I am and many other users.

Hej.
Change? We’ve got this.
Change requires clarity, experience and a genuine understanding of people.
We support you in rethinking structures, shaping effective leadership and developing organisations sustainably – pragmatic, respectful and at eye level.
Good questions. Clear answers.
We like people who ask questions.
Because those who ask want to understand – and that is exactly what matters to us. Here we answer the questions we are asked most frequently.
Yes. ANTES Profile is designed for minimal effort and is fully self-service capable. The process is simple, and results are provided directly and clearly. No coordination, additional explanations or feedback sessions are required. This allows ANTES Profile to be used quickly and effectively even without HR resources.
ANTES Profile makes personality understandable and applicable in everyday work. Instead of complex typologies or technical terms, the tool focuses on behaviour and communication styles, strengths, motivators and development areas.
The process is short, results are instantly available and can be used without certification or training. This means ANTES Profile is not perceived as a test, but as personal feedback that enables dialogue and development.
Executive search rarely fails because of the search itself, but due to unclear requirements and lack of alignment. When CVs outweigh personality, culture and mindset, there is no real fit.
Other risks include too many stakeholders without clear alignment, long decision processes or unclear communication with candidates. Especially in international contexts, market and cultural differences are often underestimated.
We do not advise from theory, but from 20 years of practical experience on both sides of the border. ANTES Consulting understands the markets, cultures and decision-making logic in Germany and Scandinavia – and translates them for each other.
This creates clear decision frameworks, sustainable structures and solutions that are culturally aligned, strategically sound and effective in practice.
ANTES Retail is not a training programme, but a solution ready for immediate use. Strength analyses, feedback and leadership guidance are digital, intuitive and automated. Managers receive concrete impulses for everyday store operations – without workshops, long reports or additional coordination effort.
Effort is minimal. ANTES Retail is fully digital, automated and flexible. It integrates seamlessly into existing structures, requires no internal project teams and is ready for immediate use – even across large retail networks.
Whenever strategic decisions have not only economic but also cultural impact and an additional independent perspective is needed. Especially in expansion, growth, transformation or succession, different leadership styles, expectations and decision logics come together. External expertise can add targeted capabilities that do not need to be permanently available in-house and ensures clarity, decision strength and confidence.
ANTES Consulting brings these perspectives together at advisory board level, takes on board mandates and supports management particularly in strategic HR topics and intercultural questions in the German-Scandinavian context. The goal is to align direction, responsibility and collaboration early and clearly.
