Executive Evaluation and Appraisal

Recruiting an $180,000 executive who fails after 6 months costs infinitely more than $90,000 of wasted salary.  Add back expenses, your own time, missed opportunities, lost momentum, the effect on the morale of your team, disappointed clients, and the true cost is a very substantial six-figure loss. For this reason alone you might consider having your short list candidates independently evaluated prior to appointment.  This becomes even more important when internal candidates are being considered.   Internal candidates who shine at one level may fall at the next - in fact the upward pressures of business generally ensure people keep getting promoted until they do fail.

The Executive Shortlist offers a confidential ‘whole-person’ appraisal of executives being considered for critical appointments.   Such an appraisal addresses the key issues that are crucial for decision-making including: Biographical background; Hidden agendas, goals and motivations; Interpersonal, relationships and teambuilding skills; Leadership capacities; Intellectual ability, commonsense and judgment; Work habits and behaviours; Capacity to work under pressure, emotional maturity and more.

This appraisal is strictly confidential and presented in a succinct, 12-page Report.  Prepared by a professional, independent advisor, with the objective of avoiding mistakes, this report also provides an expert guide to managing the future success and the proper placement of 'new' executives in your organisation. Feedback may be provided to candidates in a confidential one-to-one debriefing.
