Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Half, who writes on employment issues, makes a connection in this book not always recognized by managers: the relationship between effective hiring and employee job satisfaction. In the first section, he details how to hire the right person for the job, covering such issues as job descriptions, resumes, interviews, testing, references, and legal concerns. In the second section, he discusses techniques for keeping employees, including training, attitude, evaluation, promotions, and burnout. He completes the cycle with a section on firing. Most of the suggestions in the first section are things any manager should know. The ideas in the second section are directed at more experienced managers and would, in most cases, necessitate organizational change. While this would be a useful resource for a small business owner, most people would do better with more in-depth titles on each area covered.

This review is from: Finding, Hiring, and Keeping the Best Employees (Hardcover)
Very practical, hands-on book for use in the hiring process. Includes a list of questions to ask references that has proved very helpful in our company. We've also followed its advice when we've had the need to fire someone. Easy to read. Highly recommended.
