This book is a treasure of practical tips on how to do the one thing we do more of than anything else in our life - meet and evaluate other people. What's here is very clear, practical, commonsense advice that cuts through all the politically correct tiptoeing that has stymied interviewers from doing their jobs over the past several years. Mornell's book is truly refreshing for not letting fear of ruffling feathers get in the way of doing a sound, responsible job of screening job applicants. If you have to hire anyone anywhere for anything, buy this book.
Target readers:
Hiring managers, HRDs and HR VPs, other HR professionals, business leaders, entreprenurs and MBAs.

In the course of the year, many business books pass across my desk, and HIRING SMART is one of the most memorable of 1998/1999. With skill and wit, Dr. Mornell transforms the seemingly dry topic of hiring into a primer on how to read people and, in the process, invest in your company's most valuable resource - its people. His thesis - that a mistake in hiring can exact a toll on a company not necessarily apparent in the short run, but potentially devastating in the long run - is developed through examples culled from his years as a hiring consultant to major corporations.Dr. Mornell breaks down the fundamentals of the hiring process into easy-to-grasp stages, and most importantly for those charged with hiring responsibilities, equips the reader with the information needed to immediately implement his 45 techniques. No person involved in the hiring process should be without this resource!
I should add that the last reader's take on the book is a classic example of missing the forest for the trees - the admittedly unconventional interview questions that he/she mentions appear in the appendix, and, as most critical readers would realize, are meant only to inspire out-of-the-box thinking, and not to be simply regurgitated. Regardless, they make up one-tenth of one percent of the book's content - dismiss it on such grounds if you like, but you'll be missing out on a book that Tom Peters, Stephen Covey, and George Gendron (Editor-in-Chief of Inc.Magazine) have called the best hiring title on the market. |

This book provides an excellent overview of the hiring process and pitfalls along the way. I am starting my job hunt and am using it from the candidate point of view. Particularly found interesting the strategies used to send the applicant/candidate home with 'homework' and their response. |

Hiring Smart is an exceptional "must-read" tool for any hiring manager... and anyone looking for a job. In today's world when hiring poorly can lead to expensive mistakes, it is more important now than ever to get the "right" person in an organization.
Hiring Smart is simply one of the best tools around for hiring employees. It is original and excellent - I cannot recommend it enough.

A truly excellent book on effective interviewing, selection and hiring. If a busy executive wants to read one book in order to make the best hiring decisions, I would recommend this one. Also excellent for seasoned HR professionals or people new to hiring or HR. There are few things more imporant to the success of a business then selecting and hiring the right people, and this book will show you how. |
