Selection of executives through in-house recruitment

Abstract

Often, the best way to select the proper executive is from within the company itself. The key for the utilization of this potential is simple: encourage sound competitiveness; establish a program for development and guidance in the managerial career; find employees with a profile suitable to the present and future needs of the company; believe in in-house human potential; offer the opportunity of self-knowledge; and detect talents. The methodology and the results of applying these principles to executive selection at CESP-Companhia Energetica de Sao Paulo are presented in this paper.<>
