This book was recommended to me as a solid work about the fundamentals of the hiring process. It delivered what was promised. It’s not a book focused on a recent management trend, but instead is a work built upon classical psychology – the art of reading people quickly and effectively. It attempts to minimize the amount of bias that interviewers inevitably put into an interview and maximize the observed items that interviewers extract from an interview – the things that will add value to a business.
Richard Beatty shares a process wherein a business can identify its crucial needs for a new position, design an interview custom-built for that purpose, and select a candidate from observations through an objective method. There is no definite way to ensure the hire of a high-performer, but there are certainly ways to increase the chances of success. This book aims to avoid pitfalls so that only open opportunities remain. It’s a solid look at the fundamentals of the hiring process: how to get the person your group needs to reach its next milestone.
