Executive Assessment
One of the most crucial and potentially perilous human resources tasks is implementing an HR strategy to ensure the right skills are in the right places and that your employees are the people best suited to driving your company’s growth.
A precious tool
Executive assessment guarantees:
- compatibility between a candidate and a position, whether you’re looking at an in-house promotion or a new hire. It provides an objective analysis so you can make an informed decision about the best fit, and evaluates whether a candidate’s leadership style is a match for a company’s culture.
- develops and safeguards succession plans (boards of directors, executive committees and management committees).
- identifies and selects high-potential people within your organisation.
- provides a clear and accurate assessment of an employee’s strengths and weaknesses to customise their career development plan.
- can analyse and help to improve a team’s performance and collective leadership.
To do so, we focus on:
- explicit guidelines to clearly outline the context of the assessment as well as business and strategic challenges and included criteria.
- clear communication about the project, developed in partnership with the client.
- showcasing individual growth and development.
- mitigating biases by implementing objective and objectifiable processes.
Our approach to Executive Assessment
Whatever your company’s situation, Assessment is first and foremost a tool for growth.
We firmly believe that the experience must benefit all parties, even though it may lead to a departure.
We handle each mission with the utmost sensitivity and respect for the individuals we are assessing, artfully reconciling high standards with compassion.
A unique protocol for every company
We develop customised protocols tailored to your specific needs. They all combine skills assessment with personality and leadership assessments. We use leading psychometric tools to ensure the process is unbiased.
In specific situations, such as in-house promotions and hires, we may roll out multidimensional assessments which benefit from the additional expertise of our Executive Search teams.
