Hire Right the First Time: A Practical Hiring Kit with 14 Ready-to-Use Tools

One wrong hire can cost you more than seven months of that person's salary, through wasted pay, costly mistakes, lost customers and the price of hiring all over again. Most of that cost never shows up as a "hiring expense". It shows up later, when the damage is done.

Hire Right the First Time gives you a clear, step-by-step process for finding the right person before you sign the contract. You don't need an HR department, just the method and the tools in this kit.

· How to define exactly who you need before you advertise

· How to run interviews that reveal how people actually work, not just how well they talk

· How to use short practical tests so you see the work before you pay for it
