What Heads Talent Solutions does

Heads Talent Solutions (operating as Heads d.o.o.) is a private HR consulting boutique headquartered in Ljubljana, Slovenia, founded in 2018. The firm delivers five core service lines: executive search, talent acquisition, assessment, capability building and outplacement, serving organizations across the Adriatic region with operating presence in Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and North Macedonia. Its client base spans employers recruiting leadership and specialist talent, HR leaders seeking assessment and development support, and organizations conducting workforce restructuring.

The firm's product surface combines bespoke advisory with standardized training offerings. It has developed and brands proprietary consulting frameworks (REAL Leadership, Human2Human Consultancy) and integrates licensed psychometric and facilitation tools including Hogan Assessment, Process Communication Model (PCM), Lego Serious Play and Design Thinking. An open-enrollment catalog of 15+ training programs is offered with per-participant pricing reported in the €450-€2,600 range, alongside a dedicated IT recruitment specialization. The underlying technology stack is services-led: delivery depends on senior consultant expertise and licensed assessment instruments rather than proprietary software platforms.

The business model is a professional services mix of project-based executive search and assessment retainers, recurring corporate training contracts, and per-seat open-enrollment programs. Go-to-market relies on a multilingual four-country (plus North Macedonia) website, country-specific contact channels, and direct senior-consultant-led business development. No external funding rounds, revenue figures, or customer logos are disclosed in the available input, and the firm operates with an 11-50 employee headcount range.
