The assessment method is based on the European Federation of Quality Management (EFQM) model for measuring the quality of organizations and processes. It is a way of planning, organising and understanding each activity.3 Quality Management is a way of bringing everyone into the process of improvement and makes a strategic contribution to achievement of a company’s competitiveness.4 This report will determine if Xxx Spain fulfils these standards, analyse the strengths and weaknesses of its recruitment activities.
