Selker Leadership, LLC, announces the completion of the search for a new General Manager, Remedy, a $300M division of BMC Software, Inc. (NYSE: BMC), leader in enterprise management. Using Performance Values Assessment™ (PVA™), their patent-pending hiring methodology, Selker Leadership recruited Jim Grant, formerly the General Manager, OpenView at Hewlett Packard, to lead BMC’s recently acquired Remedy.

“Selker Leadership’s emphasis on values was clear from the get go,” said Jim Grant. “Their interview questions allowed me to put the story of my career together in a way I never have before. Their process took care of me at every step and reinforced my feeling there was a strong cultural match with BMC and Remedy. My experience of working with them is unique in comparison to other executive search firms.”

Performance Values Assessment™ is a comprehensive methodology that empowers an organization to use its declared values as the framework for evaluating and hiring new employees. By determining behavior representative of a company’s values, PVA dramatically increases the likelihood of hiring individuals who are a match. It is used in all Selker Leadership Executive and Board searches and also as a stand-alone service.

Greg Selker, President and CEO of Selker Leadership commented, “The search that brought Jim Grant to BMC is representative of what can happen when Performance Values Assessment is used. As the process neared completion, we knew Jim was a superb match to BMC’s Guiding Principles and someone who would be a key contributor for years to come.”

"I was thoroughly impressed by the unique search process and quality of candidate assessment provided by Selker Leadership," said Jerome Adams, BMC Software's Senior Vice President of Administration. "The cost of mis-hires is enormous for companies. Performance Values Assessment provides an objective process to enhance the fit for the candidate and the gaining organization."
