A Hüffer Top Executive Assessment is worth far more than what it costs. Peter F. Drucker established that around 30 percent of human-resource decisions are completely wrong. Wrong choices at top management level result in considerable expense:

• 75 to 100 percent of an annual salary
• Cost of new job advertisements
• Cost of additional selection discussions
• Candidates’ travel expenses
• Relocation costs as necessary
• Cost of familiarization and training
• Cost of poor performance
• Severance pay
• Loss of turnover
• Loss of image
• Demoralization among staff, possibly fluctuation
• Lost orders
• Considerable amount of time involved
• Opportunity costs

For this reason, increasing numbers of companies lay down that a top executive assessment must be a standard component in the recruitment and promotion of their top executives. This enhances the certainty of a decision and immediately assists in putting the right people in the right jobs. People and their capabilities make all the difference - to the benefit of a company and all its stakeholders.

Our regular clientele includes major companies that have undertaken never to appoint managerial staff or assign them to new posts without having a Hüffer Top Executive Assessment conducted first.

A Hüffer Top Executive Assessment is an effective supporting tool that puts you in a position to make a sound and safe decision with the help of clear, balanced and broad-based information together with specific recommendations. This supplements a range of other sources of information about the person in question, e.g. performance assessments of in-house candidates or references for external candidates.

When several people in a company, e.g. the entire first-line management level, have attended a Hüffer Top Executive Assessment, we then compile a portfolio overview and an internal benchmark. From this, you can determine the potential of your management team and respond rapidly, easily and confidently to upcoming developments. You will thus be a few steps ahead of your competitors.
