Delivering high service
We work with a wide global network of associate consultants. Our consultants are also able to follow the candidates worldwide, quickly and at low costs. Also modern technology is used to replace face to face elements if needed (e.g. Skype and an online Leadership Game). The assessment or enablement session can of course also take place at our office in Zürich. Feedback on the results to both hiring manager(s) as well as the candidate is always included, as well as a Business Outcome Study (providing business intelligence) after 20 individual assessments or 1 team assessment.
Added value of face to face
We provide expert based assessment and enablement for mostly leadership functions. Although the presence of modern technology is certainly used, we do believe that human interaction between consultant and candidates at this level has added value (e.g., to get a better understanding of dimensions such as culture, emotions, passion, non-verbal behavior). That’s why our consultants are very senior and flexible in following the candidate. Online validated tools and technology is of course used, but as part of our assessments and enablement, not as restitution.
Boosting your ROI
Humandia has developed –based on economic models such as the utility concept by Schmidt & Hunter- a Return on Investment Calculator to advise you correctly in which efficient assessment-mix to pick for maximizing your leadership talent. This tool can be shown and delivered free of charge to your organisation.
