Book description
Tools for translating recruiting and hiring decisions into financial returns
Even in a down economy, U. S. business and government make millions
of hiring decisions every year. Every decision carries risk. Every
hire is an investment. Ideally, every one pays a return. In today's
demanding environment, companies no longer have room to get it wrong.
Million-Dollar Hire shows how leading companies have
re-invented themselves, beat their competition, and added millions to
their bottom lines with re-engineered recruiting and hiring practices.
Using practical, real world illustrations, it shows that there
are tools to treat every hiring decision with the same focus a
business applies in acquiring other high-value assets.
- Shows how new technologies and social networking tools are being
used to spider the Internet and find the best candidates before
the competition
- Explains how different approaches to candidate screening
translate to different levels of financial return to a business
- Reveals how to estimate the financial payoff for every hire and
how to avoid legal challenges
- This is an invaluable tool for CEOs, CFOs, COOs and HR
professionals who want to revamp what is often one of the least
sophisticated parts of a business-the ways it finds
talent.
