3.0 out of 5 stars Practical, but a little too many HR/Legal warnings for me, June 30, 2006

This review is from: Crisp: Behavior-Based Interviewing: Selecting the Right Person for the Job (Crisp Fifty Minute Series) (Paperback)

This book is brief and practical. I would call it Behavioral Interviewing 101 ... or maybe better ... for K-5th grade. It's a little too basic and it comes from the perspective that the reader knows nothing about interviewing, including some very basic legal snafus.

This review is from: Crisp: Behavior-Based Interviewing: Selecting the Right Person for the Job (Crisp Fifty Minute Series) (Paperback)

This book presents a unique way to set up the interview process. By following the steps outlined in this book anyone in the organization can interview for any open position. Of special note, the book ends with 200 behavior based interview questions that you can use immediately. I highly recommend this book.

Terry has another winner here. He continues his style of real world ideas and detailed recommendations. The ton of actual interview questions included will be a reminder for experienced interviewers and a "bible" for new comers to the activity. Selecting the right folks is critical to organizational success. This book is critical for that selection process.
