This is it -- the Best Hiring System

Lou Adler points out that most hiring managers don't know how to interview very well -- they all have their favorite questions and they're loaded with biases. Fortunately he then provides answers to this and many other problems with the hiring systems of most organizations. In this third edition of Lou's work, he again lays out the key steps -- all very actionable -- for recruiting and hiring the best people. He boldly stands up to the flaws of so many human resource concepts like job descriptions and '501 Great Interview Questions.' He lays out the need to spell out clear performance objectives that define 'doing' the job not selecting based on the candidates ability to 'get' the job. He clearly demonstrates that it's not the questions that matter -- it's the answers. In this latest edition, Lou also tackles tough questions related to candidates in 2007 -- who are significantly different from candidates and the hiring world just a few years ago. And he tackles the impact of technologies -- both good and bad. One of the best things about every edition of this work is that Lou Adler provides answers -- the kind of answers that organizations must start implementing if they really do want to make hiring the best people a reality.

Packed With Knowledge!

Lou Adler, president of the Power Hiring consulting and training company, provides a systematic approach for finding, interviewing and hiring the best candidate for a job. He emphasizes making an objective assessment and, to this end, he provides techniques for overcoming first impressions. He identifies four key interview questions you can use to determine job candidates¿ competency and motivation, and to match their skills and interests to your company¿s needs. The book includes charts and checklists that highlight important points. We recommend this well-organized guide to effective hiring to company owners, human resource personnel and managers involved in the hiring process. Alert job seekers may also find it useful to learn what a good interview will demand.
