Schneider Electric Graduate Success
| |
“We wanted to take our
sales recruitment in a new direction, selecting on the basis of
drive and personality rather than pure technical knowledge.
Pareto Law offered us a solution that allowed us to hand pick the
top graduates who have the potential to really help develop our
future business." |
