Hire the right person for the job, and they will make you money, ease your life, and eliminate the need to rehire another person for the same job. Hire the wrong person, and they will not only cost you time, money, and well-being, but you will have to go through the hiring process time and again until you get the right person in place. Even then, they might not stay long enough to make your efforts worthwhile. No busy professional can afford that sort of loss of time, resources and money. So, how do you hire the right person? This book answers that question. In nine simple but vital steps, this book walks you through the optimal hiring process so that you can get the right person hired the first time around. The whole hiring process is designed for busy professionals who don't have a lot of time to invest in hiring but still need to make a smart and selective hire. Our strategy includes generating hundreds of applicants and quickly whittling them down, through carefully designed eliminative criteria, until you get to the golden needle in the haystack that you're looking for. Your time is primarily spent on the most talented final candidates generated by this funneled hiring process and never wasted on unqualified applicants. Whether you're hiring administrative staff or commission-based sales agents, we walk you through every step carefully and completely and make the entire process very simple and accessible. Brian Icenhower is the author of several business performance training books and is the CEO & Founder of Icenhower Coaching & Consulting (ICC).

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.

Not only does government bureaucracy often make hiring a cumbersome, slow-moving process, but poor performers enjoy more protection from losing their jobs than their counterparts outside of government. With over thirty years’ experience as a federal government employee, insider Stewart Liff offers a solution to the government talent shortage--enabling government managers to cut through the red tape and take advantage of the best government employees out there. The Complete Guide to Hiring and Firing Government Employees also teaches readers the equally important skills of efficiently documenting and dealing with those who don't make the cut to ensure your team starts and stays strong. You’ll discover: how to take an anticipatory approach to recruiting; how to decide who to target, and where and how to advertise for open positions; how to screen and interview candidates; how to counsel a poor-performing employee; how to use progressive discipline; how to document a case and write a charge; how to develop internal political support; and much more. Bringing the best new people on board and weeding out the worst are both the most important and the most difficult tasks faced by any employer. For federal managers, the challenge is even greater. Filled with tried-and-true strategies, this step-by-step guide will equip you to continuously uphold, strengthen, and even grow an entire department of high achievers.
