Talent Hunt at Compal
BUSINESS CASE THE CHALLENGE Compal is aware that it is not only innovation in its products but the right people that make the real change in organizations. In 2006, Compal invited Jason Associates to do a Talent Hunt in Marketing Departments of 14 FMCG companies in order to identify potential talent to integrate the company.
Founded in 1952, Compal started by concentrating itself in the tomato industry and later on progressing to new business areas. Performing in a demanding market, Compal has focused its activity on quality production, an omnipresent objective in the company's development. Concentrated on the rigorous concerns of the initial board of directors formed by a group of farmers, this constant search for quality was the key for attracting capital of several important landowners in the region, providing the required initial consistency in the company's management. www.compal.pt
