Excellent!! A very well written and well thought out approach to hiring not just people but great people.

I read with great interest Dr Camp's insightful (yet practical) strategies for effective interviewing. After reading this book, I applied the principles discussed in the book for my law firm -with tremendous success I might add. Those attorneys hired with Dr. Camp's techniques are among the best and most productive attorneys in our firm. I recommend this book without reservation to anyone in the position of hiring high level employees. It is the "bible" for interviewers. I can't wait for Dr Camp's next edition.

I actually took a staffing class with the Author, Dr. Camp, and this book was not the assigned reading material but I bought it anyway. It was better than the textbook, this should be the text for staffing classes. Great book for behaviorally based interviewing.

I have read this book and was unable to find anything new or interesting in it about selecting employees.

I read the complete book hoping to get to the section that would make it worth while. Never got there.The authors manage to make an interesting subject boooooring, and their language becomes at times needlessly complicated. Example: why not call competencies by another name instead of confusing it with competenccy requirements, and having to overexplain the differences between the two?
Like most books, it provides issues to be learned, and I learned; but there are many other attractive, interesting, and more informatiave options.
