Hire With Your Head : Using Performance–Based Hiring to Build Great Teams (3rd ed)

This is a fresh and timely revision of the classic guide to finding the right candidate for every job.

Finding and hiring top talent is key to the success, profitability, and growth of today's companies.

In "Hire with Your Head, Third Edition", Lou Adler's insightful process enables managers to attract, assess, and recruit the best candidates through the integration of online tools and offline techniques.

Using Adler's Performance-Based Hiring system, managers can effectively match a candidate's motivation and ability to do a job with the real performance demands of the position, rather than focusing on a set of arbitrarily established requirements.

Instead of basing hiring decisions on unreliable gut reactions or perceptions of personality, managers will be able to use real metrics to measure true ability and suitability for any position.

This revised Third Edition has been fully updated to reflect the growing importance and impact of the Internet on hiring, features new case studies and new perspectives on hiring, and new tools and templates.Lou Adler (Laguna Beach, CA) is President of The Adler Group and a noted recruiting industry expert, national speaker, and columnist for a number of major recruiting Internet sites.
