Leading Global Client (2008-10)
From 2008 to 2010, we performed 946 selections of people in managerial positions in over
30 countries for our client. In 2008, 509 people were assessed and of the 352 subsequently
recommended by Mercuri Urval, 91% were meeting or exceeding expectations in the yearly
performance appraisal, where both performance and behaviour was evaluated. In 2009-10,
Mercuri Urval assessed 437 and recommended 300 of which 95% met or exceeded the
expectations of their immediate manager.
The research was independently conducted by our client
Empirical Validity Study (2004-2008)
The performance of employed individuals was evaluated after 6-12 months by the employer
on a three-step scale:
