Sound decisions need a solid foundation.

How do you know if someone really fits into the company? How can real teamwork and leadership skills be proven in the application process? Evaluation with ILD shows how you can answer important personnel questions reliably and future-proof.


  • Securing the filling of key positions through ILD suitability and location assessment

  • Individual counselling: We clarify all details in a joint initial meeting.


Analysis as the key to success.

Analysing personal, role-related and cultural suitability is just as important for successful personnel decisions as matching with the future team. Evaluation with ILD creates the effective basis for a systemic and appreciative selection of applicants. The combination of interdisciplinary expertise and scientific and proven tools enables a well-founded decision-making process: we look at attitudes, motives and emotions and diagnose behaviour-related key competencies of cooperation and leadership.

ILD Leadership Evaluation Hours

Our independent expert analysis is carried out in the EvaluationHours
  • personal suitability (personality, attitude, motives)
  • behavioral key competencies and
  • the cultural matching of candidates

A transparent and qualitative basis has been created to secure personnel decisions when filling key positions (internal / external).

Our EvaluationHours are a competency-based and role- and company-related concept with unique combined elements of
  • scientifically standardized test diagnostics
  • Self-reflection
  • proven AC exercises
  • and development-oriented coaching & feedback.

Depending on the assignment, the aim is to check the candidates’ self-concept, self-reflection and proactive attitudes as well as key leadership skills such as communication and conflict skills, emotional management and empathy, change and empowerment skills.

Candidate evaluation when filling key positions

Our evaluation hours can do both

  1. for internal candidates as a position assessment with a focus on development
  2. as well as external candidates with a focus on suitability or skills-based selection and team-related and cultural fit

be designed and implemented on a company-specific basis. In addition to application documents, previous interviews, existing performance assessments and target agreements, the EvaluationHours can represent a valuable contribution for everyone involved.

What is important to us is an appreciative process at the end of which each participant can gain something for themselves and their development through the profiling, coaching and feedback.

Respectful and development-oriented cooperation is a natural part of our evaluation philosophy.

The company-related concept is fine-tuned in advance with the client.


Implementation variants of the EvaluationHours

EvaluationHours Inhouse

We would be happy to support you with the implementation of the EvaluationHours in your company. This can take the form of individual or group development centers, for example.

EvaluationHours Online

Of course, we can also carry out the EvaluationHours individually online in a light version. However, this is not suitable for every position and is usually a sub-element of an overall process.

EvaluationHours at ILD

Send us your candidate to Berlin. Outside of the direct workplace, we are happy to offer our EvaluationHours for individuals on “neutral ground”. This variant is particularly useful if special confidentiality aspects have to be met.


Clarity, effectiveness & appreciation

Our philosophy is to give detailed, clear feedback to the candidates invited after a substantial pre-selection, who have shown commitment in the EvaluationHours. The perceived attitude, the management of emotions, the profiles in key competences, the impact in simulations, possible learning areas and existing potentials are the focus here. In this way, we manage to generate added value for the candidates independently of any decision. This is done equally with internal as well as external candidates.

Our philosophy is highly appreciated by all our clients and equally by the candidates. Especially in this day and age, appreciation is of particular importance to us. In addition, the substantial feedback to the candidates is also a positive “business card” for the client.

  • “My board colleague Daniel Mohaupt and I have once again worked with the professionals from ILD on their professional selection process for filling 2 important key leadership positions. 5 candidates learned a lot about themselves in an assessment centre and showed us a lot about themselves. They felt very comfortable in the process. We ourselves, were very convinced by the methods and profiling of ILD EvaluationHours. We were also able to get a very good picture of each individual applicant, both internal and external, and make a good decision. Thanks to ILD (Frank Strathus, Arndt Kempen, Kirsten Strathus), we can only recommend both your methods for personnel selection and the profilings!”

    Grit Westermann | Chairwoman of the Board, PSD Bank

  • “The most impressive thing about the 4Cs method is the justified conflict focus and the combination of scientific standardization with high practical relevance, which enables a fast and effective behavioral change. ILD has been highly professional in guiding us in this. Thank you.”

    Walter Schaff | Director HR Europe, Daimler Financial Services

  • “As part of our global ‘Conflict Resolution and Mediation Conference’, Frank and Stefan held a very well received best practice session. Due to the close cooperation we could state: a really good investment in our knowledge. ILD is on the cutting edge as a leading Leadership Institute.”

    Kelly Kirschner | Vice President and Dean of Executive and Continuing Education at Eckerd College, Florida/USA

  • „At first I was skeptical and attended the first appointment more out of curiosity. But views that I was actually comfortable with began to waver, while on other issues I was encouraged to continue on the path I had chosen. There are statements from my coach that I won’t soon forget and that I continue to use as a guide today.”

    Dr. Bärbel Wernicke | DIN Head of LUW (Leben und Umwelt/Living and Environment)
