When it comes to senior management positions in a company, making well-informed and bias-free decisions in hiring executives will make a difference to your business in the short, medium and long term. In some instances, however, two or three candidates with exceptional performance and similar profiles may make it to the shortlist, which can make selection harder. So, some questions arise: What criteria should I apply when both candidates are extraordinary? How can I pick the most favorable name for the position? Flow can help you by analyzing in depth the candidates, the position and the fit to your culture. So, with an expert second opinion, your choice has even greater chances of success.

Second opinion: a specialized and bias-free second opinion that empowers you to choose the most suitable candidate for your business, when there’s more than one candidate on your shortlist.

Selecting executives for top positions can greatly enhance your company performance, and each decision impacts the lives of all employees. But all too often, in senior positions, two or more candidates may have very similar experiences. Contrary to what common sense would say, the greater number of similar alternatives can be a challenge. First, because the choice will not be so obvious if we do not use concrete evaluation criteria. Second, because there is a risk of interference from so-called unconscious biases - when, for example, we relate more with one profile than another. At this point, having a second opinion will increase your chances of clearly seeing the difference between the name that sounds right and the one that actually is. Finding this answer increases your chances of long-term success, and impacts everyone positively.
