| Summary |
High-Impact Hiring counters hit-or-miss approaches to employee selection with a rigorously tested framework that takes into account all of the selection procedures currently in use. Moreover, it provides employers with an understanding of the concepts behind those procedures so they can develop an approach to hiring employees whose capacity for high performance will maximize an organization's potential for success - an approach employers can continue to adapt as needs or situations change. Based on the latest cutting-edge research and the authors' considerable experience in developing hiring systems for such major corporations as Adolph Coors Company, Kaiser Permanente, and General Tire & Rubber - as well as numerous small- and medium-sized businesses - this book takes the mystery out of making good hires and serves as a comprehensive, systematic guide to understanding, planning, and perfecting the hiring process |
