The Effective Hiring Manager

Effective Hiring Is The Most Important Management Practice

I am biased as I have been listening to Manager Tools, the podcast started by Mark Horstman and Mike Auzenne, since 2009. I have always learned from the actionable and precise guidance in the podcasts and Mark's books.

The book is not a collection of podcasts on hiring. Still, it does gather all the essentials on hiring from the podcats offering an essential guide for hiring managers. Mark's step-by-step approach makes the strategies easy to implement and helps ensure effective hiring for the practitioners. The book explores what it takes to hire the right person for the right job and team. All pre-offer activities are an effort to find reasons to say “no.”

I recommend this as an essential reading for any hiring manager.
