The evaluation helps facilitate recruitment decisions and optimizes the integration of a new executive.

Supports leaders

The evaluation is a key tool for personal development and for supporting talent throughout their careers.

Using a proven methodology

The process includes: a preliminary interview, an assessment using scientifically validated tools, and a final interview.

SEGALEN+ASSOCIES supports executives and leadership teams with the aim of developing their potential, defining and implementing action plans, and helping them achieve their objectives.

Reference checks

SEGALEN+ASSOCIES conducts a comprehensive reference-check process (+1, −1, peers, partners, etc.) to provide an exhaustive view and verify the background and responsibilities of the candidate under consideration.

Assessing coherence

For a company, SEGALEN+ASSOCIES can assess the alignment between what it communicates about itself and how it is perceived. This service is particularly useful when refining pitch-book content or preparing presentations for investors, clients, or target companies, or ahead of merger/acquisition processes.

Multiple interviews

Individual interviews are conducted with various stakeholders (former employees, investors, portfolio-company executives, legal advisors, M&A professionals…).

SEGALEN+ASSOCIES then prepares a synthesis report covering the themes agreed upon in advance with the client.

Compensation studies

SEGALEN+ASSOCIES can also conduct compensation studies for a specific market or role.
