Hiring Smart - Pierre Mornell

Nothing kills morale and momentum like a bad hire. In Hiring Smart, psychologist and veteran interviewer Pierre Mornell shares his tips and tricks for avoiding mistakes while identifying the best person for the job.

The objective of every interview is to: (1) get to know the candidate, (2) judge their fit for the job, (3) determine if they’ll work well in the organization, and (4) discover any major issues before an offer is made. Mornell’s tactics make it easy to learn everything you need to know about a prospective employee before bringing them on board.

Reading Hiring Smart can save you hundreds of thousands of dollars, months (or years) of lost time, and a great deal of stress and heartache. Time invested reading this book before hiring an employee is time well spent.
