In this specialized training “Face Reading for HR & Recruiting,” you will learn how to recognize personality in a differentiated way and place applicants where they can truly play to their strengths. The goal is to make HR decisions more grounded and to design recruiting processes with greater clarity, humanity, and precision.
What You’ll Learn in This Training
What if you could recognize a person’s strengths and talents just by looking at their face – instead of relying solely on résumés and self-presentations?
In this training, you’ll learn how to read faces with a trained eye – to assess personality, work style, and potential more precisely. Not to label people, but to truly understand them and make better decisions when filling roles.
You’ll gain confidence in selection processes, develop a sharper sense of fit, and learn how to communicate your observations in a type-appropriate way – starting right in the interview.

How I Work
This training is not about typologies or theories. I work with real faces, real-life examples, and what becomes visible in them. You’ll learn by analyzing photos, exploring specific situations, and applying the method in a hands-on way.
We create a safe space for exchange, reflection, and personal growth. You’ll discover a lot about others – and just as much about yourself. My approach is appreciative, clear, and always relationship-oriented. It’s about truly perceiving what you see.
You won’t just learn new techniques – you’ll sharpen your perception and deepen your intuitive sense for people. All of this takes place within the world’s first hybrid Face Reading training – live, personal, and fully interactive.
-
We work with real faces – from applicants, case examples, and photos.
-
Face Reading principles and models are clearly explained and practically applied.
-
You combine Face Reading with well-known HR tools, such as structured interview guides, the Needs Matrix™, the Big Five, and the DISC model
-
You’ll learn to perceive facial features in a nuanced way and understand how they relate to personality.
-
There’s room for reflection, peer exchange, and immediate application to your daily recruiting practice.
“Good recruiting means making decisions that honor the individual – and strengthen the company.”
What You’ll Be Able to Do After the Training
RECOGNIZE
You recognize the key issues more quickly – what truly matters in a person, regardless of their resume or appearance.
CLASSIFY
You understand how personality traits, behaviors, and potential are reflected in the face – and can better classify them for selection processes.
UNDERSTAND
You develop a finer sense for what drives applicants – even when they cannot or do not express it.
APPLY
You apply your knowledge directly in HR practice: in job interviews, during selection, in assessment discussions, or for potential evaluations.
CONNECT
You make more differentiated decisions – with greater clarity, confidence, and an eye for what the application documents do or don’t reveal.
Why empathy and human insight matter in HR
Recruiting is changing. What used to be based on résumés, grades, and first impressions now requires something else: a keen sense for personality, motivation, and real compatibility.
Because people are not just profiles on paper – they bring depth, dynamics, and potential for growth. And those who can see that make decisions that are not only more objective, but also more empathetic and human.
Especially in recruitment, emotional intelligence makes all the difference: the ability to notice subtle signals, read emotions, understand expressions, and truly connect in a conversation.
In a working world shaped by AI, automation, and a shortage of skilled professionals, this ability is becoming more and more essential. Because when everything else becomes digital – what remains?
The human factor. The ability to recognize potential not just in résumés, but in a person’s face. The art of seeing who someone really is – not to judge them, but to truly understand them. Face Reading offers a unique and surprisingly powerful tool for this. It reveals what’s often hidden: talents, strengths, growth potential – but also inner blocks or challenges. Not to analyze. But to understand more clearly. Not to judge. But to make better, more informed, and more human-centered decisions.
In a time when recruiting is becoming faster, more complex, and emotionally demanding, true people skills are not a “nice-to-have” – they’re an essential part of emotionally intelligent HR work.

What You’ll Learn
About Yourself
In this training, you’ll not only look outward – but also inward. You’ll experience how your perception shifts as you learn to read faces with greater nuance. You may uncover unconscious patterns in your assessments, notice blind spots in your people skills, or gain clarity about how you come across in conversations.
This deepens not only your understanding of others – but also your own self-awareness.
