WORKING WITH US

SMALL AND FAST

Aspiro is a boutique company where developments, decisions, and tasks are largely discussed together. There is never more than one manager person between anyone in the company and the owners. The teams we propose to our clients are quick to mobilize, consisting of a small core of in-house consultants, complemented by additional subject matter specialists where necessary. This creates plenty of opportunities to learn fast and get experience working directly with seasoned consulting professionals and experts.

MERITOCRACY

We reward excellence and recognize when people are working hard to achieve their personal and project goals. On every step of the career path, consultants receive feedback to help them improve their job performance and motivate them after the agreed milestones are achieved. Our career coaching system enables you to set personal development goals on a biannual basis and get ongoing support in reaching them, fostering fast learning and growth.

INTERNATIONAL

Originally founded by Czech and Slovak consultants and covering Central Europe, Aspiro has gradually expanded the geographical reach – we have completed projects ranging from the United Kingdom to Australia, from United Arab Emirates to Finland. We often cooperate with international consultants and partner companies with diverse advisory portfolios. The in-house team consists of 9 nationalities, with English as the internal company language.
