Sample Report

YOUR ECO PROFILE

Your ECO Profile is determined along the six performance vectors of early careers: Strategy, Attraction, Recruitment, Development & Management, Retention, and the Early Careers Function itself.

Your profile establishes a baseline profile that shows how your Early Careers organisation is currently performing. The results are an aggregate of perception and quantitative metrics, and will help you efficiently bridge the gap between your as-is and to-be.
