Bigram Sa Personnel Consulting

What Bigram Sa Personnel Consulting does

BIGRAM Sp. z o. o. (trading as BIGRAM) is a privately-held Polish HR consulting firm headquartered in Warsaw, founded circa 1994. The company provides professional services across the full employee lifecycle for enterprise clients, with core offerings in executive search and management recruitment, Assessment Centre and Development Centre evaluation, competency modeling, periodic evaluation systems, outplacement programs (individual, group, and executive), and change management consulting. Its underlying technology is modest: a proprietary Secure Candidate Database (Bezpieczna Baza Kandydatów BIGRAM) holding 20,000+ candidate profiles, supplemented by licensed psychometric assessment tools from Profiles International (the Polish partner since 2005, available in 32 languages across 122 countries) and structured human-delivered assessment methodologies.

The firm operates a project-based, consulting engagement model in which each client is served by a consultant-researcher duo, with services tailored individually and priced on a quote basis. Revenue streams are entirely professional services fees from four primary lines: executive search and recruitment, outplacement, development and evaluation services, and change management consulting. BIGRAM differentiates through 30 years of Polish market experience, deep vertical specialization (FMCG, Industry, Pharma & Medical, Retail & E-commerce, Real Estate & Construction), and membership in two international networks: IIC Partners (executive search, 30+ countries) and Career Star Group (outplacement, 770+ firms across 70+ countries). The company also manages Enactus Poland, connecting the firm to 1,700+ universities globally for employer branding and early-talent pipeline development. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise sales in Poland, augmented by international network partners for cross-border mandates, with a self-serve candidate registration portal as a secondary channel.
