Human Resources Consulting in Barranquilla. Strategic Human Capital Management in Colombia
Build, attract, and empower the team that drives your company—from the first hire to a high-performance culture—with comprehensive consulting services that cover the entire talent lifecycle: attracting, organizing, evaluating, and developing talent
Human Resources That Bring Order to Your Company and Empower Your People
Most companies tackle human capital in piecemeal fashion: a recruitment agency, a testing provider, and a freelance consultant for workplace culture. The result is a fragmented function, with data that doesn’t integrate and no one looking at the big picture. Besitz takes the opposite approach: a single consulting firm that designs the complete architecture of your human capital processes, people, and metrics and supports you over time.
We do this with the same strategic vision we’ve used for more than fifteen years to advise companies in Colombia: we don’t just go through the motions; we focus on building a human resources department that adds value to the business. You decide the scope whether it’s a one-time service or a comprehensive, customized plan and we guarantee that everything operates under a single strategy.
Benefits of Our Human Resources Consulting Services
More than just filling open positions: a human resources department that streamlines your operations, ensures compliance with the law, and drives improvement through data.
The Entire Area Under a Single Strategy
The difference from hiring individual suppliers is that here everything is aligned with a single strategy: the selection process informs the evaluations, the evaluations inform the development plans, and the metrics measure the overall performance.
Decisions Made by People Backed by Data
We define and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) for human resources including turnover, hiring times, workplace climate, performance, and retention and turn them into dashboards that management can track on a monthly basis.
Keep Your Company in Compliance with Labor Laws
Employers in Colombia have legal obligations that are not optional, such as the psychosocial risk assessment endorsed by the Ministry of Labor or the structure of employment contracts in accordance with current regulations.
Fourteen Services That Cover the Entire Talent Lifecycle
Human resources isn’t a one-time task it’s a cycle: attracting the right people, organizing them into a clear structure, evaluating their performance, and developing them… You can start with the one that’s most urgent for you today or approach them as a comprehensive plan.
Talent Attraction & Selection
Talent Landing in Colombia
We support foreign companies throughout their entire local market entry process, managing human resources from the ground up: we identify the profiles your operation truly needs, recruit and screen candidates, and structure their employment in accordance with Colombian labor laws.
Headhunting & Strategic Recruitment
We identify and attract key candidates including executives, critical roles, and specialized talent who are rarely actively seeking employment, through direct search and a network of contacts built up over the years.
Psychometric & Behavioral Assessment
We use scientifically validated tests selected based on the specific job profile including reasoning, personality, competencies, and behavior both during the selection process and throughout an employee’s career.
Reliability Verification
We verify employment references, confirm the candidate’s stated work history, and conduct background checks to ensure that every new hire is a sound decision with no surprises.
Occupational Health Diagnosis
We identify early on any health conditions that may affect a person’s performance or well-being in a specific role, ensuring that each person is placed in the role that is best suited for them and for the team.
Organizational Structure & Processes
Process Design & Job Descriptions
We design your organization’s internal process architecture: flowcharts, clear job descriptions, and workflows that define who does what, how, and with what level of responsibility. When every role and every process is documented, the team gains operational efficiency, onboarding new employees is accelerated, and you no longer have to rely on critical knowledge residing solely in one person’s head.
Organizational Structure of the Human Resources Department
We’ll build your company’s Human Resources department from the ground up including policies, procedures, roles, forms, and tools so it operates autonomously and strategically, rather than as a mere administrative office. It’s the ideal solution for growing companies that can no longer manage their people informally and need a professional department capable of scaling alongside the business.
Contract Management
We draft employment contracts tailored to Colombian regulations and the specific type of employment arrangement for each role—fixed-term, indefinite, project-based, or service-based—minimizing legal risks and setting clear conditions from day one. A well-structured employment contract prevents lawsuits, penalties, and disputes that end up costing far more than doing it right from the start.
Measuring Talent Metrics
We define, implement, and monitor KPIs for the human resources department including turnover, hiring times, absenteeism, workplace climate, performance, and retention transforming people management into a data-driven function. With clear dashboards, decisions about the team are no longer based on perceptions but are instead supported by metrics that management tracks month by month.
Performance Management & Well-Being
360° Performance Evaluations
We design and conduct semiannual evaluations in which each employee receives feedback from various perspectives—managers, peers, and direct reports—providing a comprehensive and fair view of their contributions. Beyond simply assigning a rating, the process aligns expectations, identifies specific training needs, and charts a path for both individual and collective growth within the team.
Psychosocial Risk Battery
We use the set of tools validated by the Ministry of Labor to identify psychosocial risk factors both inside and outside the workplace that affect your team, in compliance with Resolution 2764 of 2022, which is mandatory for all employers in Colombia. We don’t stop at the assessment: we provide you with the findings and work with you to address the risks, so that you can comply with the regulation while also improving workplace morale and productivity.
Organizational Well-Being Ecosystem
We design a comprehensive wellness program for your company: a training framework, emotional compensation programs, benefits, and strategies that strengthen a sense of belonging. In a market where top talent leaves because they feel undervalued, a well-thought-out wellness ecosystem is one of the most effective ways to retain your people and reduce turnover.
Human Development & Leadership
Team Development Consulting
We identify the team’s skill gaps through individual and group assessments, and design concrete action plans to address them. Instead of generic training that doesn’t make a difference, our development efforts are focused precisely where the team needs them to become a high-performing team, with measurable goals and ongoing monitoring.
Executive Development & Mindful Leadership
Specialized consulting for CEOs, managers, and department heads who want to take the next step: we enhance managerial skills, emotional intelligence, and transformational leadership through close, personalized guidance. Because the quality of a team rarely exceeds that of its leader, developing leadership skills is an investment that multiplies the performance of everyone who depends on that leader.
What Companies That Entrust Their Talent to Besit Have to Sayz
“When we joined Besitz, our HR department was operating on the fly… In just a few months, they streamlined our hiring process, updated our psychosocial risk assessment, and provided us with clear metrics. Today we hire more effectively, with lower turnover and significantly less legal risk.”

How We Structure Your Workforce
Talent and Organizational Assessment
We start by understanding where you stand: we review your current structure, processes, roles, work environment, and any existing metrics (or the lack thereof). This assessment provides a clear picture of the gaps and priorities, so you don’t waste effort on things that won’t make a difference.
Strategy and Structure Design
With the assessment in hand, we design a customized plan: which services are needed first, how the human resources department should be structured, which processes and job descriptions need to be created, and which metrics we’ll track. You approve the scope before we move forward.
Implementation: Selection, Processes, and Compliance
We handle the entire process: we recruit and screen candidates, administer tests, draft contracts in accordance with regulations, set up the department, and bring legal obligations such as the psychosocial risk assessment up to date. Every deliverable is documented and fully operational.
Measurement, Well-Being, and Continuous Improvement
Talent management isn’t a one-time effort. We monitor key metrics, conduct performance evaluations, implement wellness and development programs, and make whatever adjustments are necessary to ensure the department continues to improve over time.
