In 2003 the CEO of UBS, Mark Sutton, said, "To head our wealth management group, we're after not just an A Player, but the best in the world - a Super A Player." With Michael Schweitzer, he got it.
UBS used Topgrading Professionals to coach executives and interview candidates for top jobs as part of a corporate Topgrading rollout. Schweitzer learned the Topgrading hiring methods by attending a Topgrading Workshop as part of the rollout. He also read Topgrading books and sat in on interviews with the professionals. “I did all this to hopefully become quite good at hiring,” he said.
"There's no doubt in my mind I packed my team with A Players using Topgrading. Not only has it helped my career, but I'm confident it has made my employers more profitable."
