Our main goal is to search and select high quality executives that fulfill our client’s requirements and that are capable to adapt quickly to the organizational culture. To accomplish successfully this objective, we go through a thorough process consisting of the following stages:
FIRST STAGE:
We understand the company: its culture, its economic context, its aims and strategies and its competing enterprises. We then research on the position: its hierarchy and report level, functions, responsibilities, objectives and total annual income. Then, with our client, we gather information regarding personality traits, education, experience and necessary executive competencies.
SECOND STAGE:
Once the profile has been completed, we commence the identification of qualified candidates. To do this, we go through a systematic search and we perform intelligence explorations within related sectors and companies that might have the executive with the required characteristics.
THIRD STAGE:
We perform insightful interviews and assessments with all potential candidates to determine their qualifications, capabilities, achievements, motivations, interest in a change of position and their expectations towards new challenges. In such a way we can establish if the person is capable of adapting to the enterprise culture and is able to complete our client’s expectations. Finally, in very short time, we elaborate a confidential report with the profiles of the qualified executives
FOURTH STAGE:
We advice to our Customers, in the final transfers with the selected executive, and subsequently, we periodically accompany the integration process to your company.
