“Who. The best method of hiring”, or how to solve the biggest problem of business
Mistakes resulting from hiring the wrong person are costly. According to research conducted by ghSMART, a global consulting, education, and leadership analysis company, a mistake in hiring an employee costs on average fifteen times their base salary, counting specific expenses and lost productivity. Peter Ferdinand Drucker, one of the most prominent management thinkers and theorists of the twentieth century, estimates that the success rate of managers in hiring employees is only 50 percent. So how to eliminate these mistakes, save time and costs, and above all, find a way to flawlessly select the best employee for a given position in the company?
A book entitled “Who. How to solve the biggest problem in business” by Dr. Geoff Smart and Randy Street, CEOs and founders of one of the world’s leading consulting firms that helps Fortune 500 executives achieve their goals by hiring, developing, and leading talented teams.
This global bestseller was first published in 2008 and has since achieved classic status. The book has sold over 200,000 copies and continues to enjoy great interest and recognition from readers around the world.
The authors, based on their own experience and based on more than 1,300 hours of interviews with more than 20 billionaires and 300 CEOs, outline methods that every company can and should implement. They suggest how to avoid the wrong ways to hire, be specific about your expectations, generate flow, ask the right questions during interviews, and attract the people you want to hire. The advice contained in the book is helpful both for large companies looking for candidates for managerial positions, and for small companies hoping to develop their business. The publication presents the entire process of a comprehensive recruitment method: correct definition of the employee’s role, effective sourcing, proper selection, interview scenarios, and contract finalization.
The partner of the Polish edition of the publication is LeasingTeam Group. The book is available in the PWN online bookstore and other online bookstores.
