It offers recruitment/selection services, consulting, and training programs, and works around three pillars it calls "Sistema Humano" (talent, leadership, culture), "Herramientas" (its own methodology, including the CSM created in 2018 and six diagnostics), and "Consciencia" (applied neuroscience, purpose, and AI). The company reports more than 600 transformation projects and over 3,000 selection processes completed.

As a recruitment and HR consultancy, most vacancies published on its job board are positions with client organizations across a wide range of sectors and functions — including sales, finance, supply chain, healthcare, HSE, and technology — in locations across Spain such as Barcelona, Madrid, Girona, Granada, Murcia, and Bilbao, as well as in other countries.
