Editor's Notes
Alhambra International assesses the potential candidates for a position, especially for Middle up and Top Management roles. Thanks to our expertise and experience, we effectively point out the requirements that are needed for a perfect match across the specific industry. This approach also helps to reduce the financial risks associated with recruitment by flagging the weaknesses and strengths associated with each candidate. This allows also to clearly identify areas of development for the recruited candidate and it lays the groundwork for a successful on-boarding
For promotion and succession planning, Alhambra International handles in-depth assessment of potential candidates for the role after an analysis of the targeted role’s requirements in terms of skills and competencies that are most of the time critical to leadership performance. This assessment is conducted mostly for Top Managers, Executive Committee members or future CEO with a succession planning. This helps our clients to make a well-informed decision, ensuring they are assigning the right people to the right role.
Executive Assessments are also practiced to achieve Leadership Development goals: to help participants in self-awareness development, to instill self-confidence and to enhance personal development. This approach also helps our clients empowering their teams and supporting them to succeed and perform better.
