Propel Webinars
March 2020. Webinar topic.
Is your senior recruitment process putting your organisation at risk?
Our recent webinar focused on exploring how to best conduct virtual or in-person executive assessments as well as the data-driven approach to assessing the right senior leaders to reduce the organisational risk.
There are huge costs associated with getting senior hires wrong. The effect of these recruitment mistakes can be wide-ranging, including immediate financial consequences, longer-term damage to the organisation’s reputation, and negative impact on productivity and culture. Despite this, we find that organisations tend to have the most rigorous recruitment process in place for their more junior roles (e.g. graduate recruitment) and tend to take a less robust approach for senior, more critical, hires.
The first-ever Propel Webinar session was led by Kay Tear and Fleur Scott where they shared their experience and explored the risks associated with recruiting senior hires and the steps to take to minimise them. They demonstrated a data-driven approach to hiring senior managers, which looked at the increased effectiveness of using multiple objective assessment methods and spoke through a recent case study.
Key insights included:
