A big car maker needed to reinforce the leadership team within
different functions preparing the succession plan and looking for
the best talents wherever they were operating.

A multi-country project, led by an International Project Manager, allowed to attract senior managers with different backgrounds and experiences and place them in the right role.

• The first step involved identifying the needs of the succession plan or job rotation within different functions, as well as clearly defining the values and skills sought in future leaders.
• International experience and exposure to different markets were key requirements. Therefore, the search activity was conducted in the main European countries, as well as other international markets.
• The selection process focused not only on technical skills but, more importantly, on personal characteristics, predominant values, and the career development expectations of each candidate.
• The biggest challenge—and a great opportunity at the same time—was to assess candidates not for a specific job vacancy, but for potential opportunities that had yet to be defined.
