GAMM Consultores

People management and recruitment for organizations

GAMM Consultores is a boutique consultancy that describes itself as a company with a soul, made up of professionals from different disciplines and generations who work together with commitment and a positive attitude. Its stated aim is to create value for each person it works with and for each of its clients. The firm was founded in 1990 and was reborn in 2003 with a focus on people and their professional and personal development, on the basis that organizations are the natural setting in which that growth happens.

The consultancy says that from the early 2010s it has widened its services and brought in modern technology, after a new management team took over. It frames its work as a practical understanding of how relationships and communication operate among people, and particularly in the workplace. Its leadership team and managers are presented on the site, and the business describes its main lines as people management, consultancy, selection and newer services that the firm has added over time.

Search and selection of people

The firm's selection work is built around efficient and professional searches conducted with respect for confidentiality on both sides. The consultancy says it listens closely to each client's needs and studies the organization's culture, strengths and areas for improvement before it presents candidates. Its aim is to present the people most suited to each post, with a focus on fit with the company's culture as well as on technical match. It also advises clients on defining each role, its required competencies, the salary environment and the benefits, depending on the particulars of the organization and conditions in the market.

The firm lists specific benefits for employers. These include a timely solution to their talent needs, access to a team that is expert in search and selection, detailed reports that include assessments and thorough reference checks, and a particular guarantee system. Employers can also ask for support during the induction of the people selected. For candidates, the firm describes a selection process that tries to understand them beyond their CV, a chance to review with professionals how the offered role fits their growth goals, and feedback on their performance that they can use later.

Exit interviews and outsourcing

The consultancy also runs exit interviews, which it treats as a valuable source of information. These are held in a warm and relaxed setting, and they let people who choose to leave voice their dissatisfactions. The firm says the findings help clients understand the gap between what staff expect and how the business looks from the inside, what kinds of offers have pulled people away, and what changes would keep high performers and reduce turnover. It describes this as a benefit for remaining staff too, who get a space to say what the organization could do better.

On the outsourcing side, the company describes what it calls transparent outsourcing. It manages the administrative and operational tasks that relate to a client's personnel, and it offers payroll and staff provision as services in their own right. Its material also lists a set of values, among them integrity, responsibility, efficiency, teamwork, interest in people, and joy and freedom in the work. The firm says these values shape the flexible, direct and fair relationships it aims to keep with clients, candidates and staff alike.
