“Throughout my career, I have worked with assessors on different continents.

And this quality of assessments is precisely what we need nowadays when recruiting executives for our companies.”
The Rockport Company — Michael Rupp, Chief Executive Officer and President:
“After having completed a number of Assessments with Hüffer AG, we have not only significantly improved the quality of our recruitments but also found outstanding value in our career development activities. Assessment results significantly enhanced conversations between CEO and excom members as an agreed upon fact base had been established. The results were realistic development targets for each leader and specific activities to maximize the individual potential.”
Franke Artemis Management Ltd — Michael Pieper, Chief Executive Officer:
“We appreciate the direct, candid qualification with clear statements based on comprehensible principles.”
Canon (Switzerland) AG — Markus Naegeli, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board:
“A good assessment of our top executives – transparent, personal and with clear added value for all stakeholders. Dr. Hüffer incorporated the jointly developed profile definition into the evaluation criteria perfectly. The transparent assessment tools and methods are neatly combined and used with skilful focus. As a result, Dr. Hüffer has managed to gain a very holistic impression of the person. The reports, the personal communication to us and the candidates were of very high quality with a high degree of identification.”
Agfa Graphics — Moritz Rogger, President Central Europe:
“Agfa Graphics Central Europe (Germany, Switzerland, Austria and South Eastern Europe) has had various assessments and coaching sessions conducted by Hüffer AG in connection with new hires and new executive positions. The quality of the approach was very convincing. The feedback from candidates was also always very positive. Cooperation during the assessments and coaching sessions was at a high and human level. What is more important, however, is that the newly hired managers have given us every satisfaction. We can well imagine further cooperation with Hüffer AG for further repositioning and coaching sessions in the course of the change process.”
RUAG Real Estate AG— Hans-Rudolf Hauri, Chief Executive Officer:
“The development of senior staff in a rapidly changing business environment is a key success factor. Training and coaching programs must be adjusted flexibly to meet the requirements of the tasks as well as the prerequisites that a candidate offers. Dr. Hüffer and his team offer a comprehensive, holistic process ranging from assessments to the coaching of key people. I never cease to be amazed by their effectiveness and sustainability every time. This satisfaction is especially enhanced in that the beneficiaries of coaching have developed very positively not only in professional but also in personal terms.”
