Download or read book Who written by Geoff Smart. This book was released on 2008-09-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this instant New York Times Bestseller, Geoff Smart and Randy Street provide a simple, practical, and effective solution to what The Economist calls “the single biggest problem in business today”: unsuccessful hiring. The average hiring mistake costs a company $1.5 million or more a year and countless wasted hours. This statistic becomes even more startling when you consider that the typical hiring success rate of managers is only 50 percent. The silver lining is that “who” problems are easily preventable. Based on more than 1,300 hours of interviews with more than 20 billionaires and 300 CEOs, Who presents Smart and Street’s A Method for Hiring. Refined through the largest research study of its kind ever undertaken, the A Method stresses fundamental elements that anyone can implement–and it has a 90 percent success rate. Whether you’re a member of a board of directors looking for a new CEO, the owner of a small business searching for the right people to make your company grow, or a parent in need of a new babysitter, it’s all about Who. Inside you’ll learn how to • avoid common “voodoo hiring” methods • define the outcomes you seek • generate a flow of A Players to your team–by implementing the #1 tactic used by successful businesspeople • ask the right interview questions to dramatically improve your ability to quickly distinguish an A Player from a B or C candidate • attract the person you want to hire, by emphasizing the points the candidate cares about most In business, you are who you hire. In Who, Geoff Smart and Randy Street offer simple, easy-to-follow steps that will put the right people in place for optimal success.

Book Synopsis How to Recruit the Right Staff by : Graham Martin

Download or read book How to Recruit the Right Staff written by Graham Martin. This book was released on 2013-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite challenging economic times, the UK & USA currently face severe skills shortages; a recent survey stated that 85% of business said that their inability to recruit the 'right' staff was their number one challenge. The sad fact is that whilst many organisations may officially state that "our staff are our greatest asset", many employers put more time & effort into the purchase of a new company car than they do into the recruitment of new or replacement staff! Whilst the average UK salary is approx £28,000; the overall annual cost including taxes, training and holiday cover are estimated at nearer £40,000! Add the costs associated with a recruitment campaign and the importance of getting it right first time become evident. With only 9% of employees currently in their dream job and at any given time an estimated 42% of staff actively considering a change of job, it is clear that, in the UK at least, we're not very good at what is obviously a poorly delivered business function; effective recruitment. Written primarily for the private sector this book aims to provide simple, yet exceptionally powerful recruiting strategies for non-HR managers. In it you will find essential advice on how to recruit more effectively, both using recruitment agencies and on your own. Tips on how to retain the right staff are provided. Graham Martin has been at the 'sharp end' of recruitment for over 25 years and has recruited nearly 1700 people for client organisations and has sat in front of nearly 2000 managers, directors or business owners discussing their recruitment needs. This, Graham's first book is the distillation of his experience in recruitment from an employers perspective. "Having engaged Graham Martin to recruit office juniors to finance and marketing managers for nearly 20 years I am fully aware that he knows what he's doing! His book guides business managers through the labyrinth of recruitment in easy to understand steps. A useful little book that makes so much sense" Clive M Coote MD Vertical Leisure UK
