Book Description
A fresh and timely revision of the classic guide to finding the right candidate for every job
Finding and hiring top talent is key to the success, profitability, and growth of today's companies.

Using Adler's Performance-Based Hiring system, managers can effectively match a candidate's motivation and ability to do a job with the real performance demands of the position, rather than focusing on a set of arbitrarily established requirements.

This revised Third Edition has been fully updated to reflect the growing importance and impact of the Internet on hiring, features new case studies and new perspectives on hiring, and new tools and templates.
