Recommendation

Productivity trainer Garrett Miller shows you how to hire great employees by finding candidates with four must-have qualities that have little to do with skill and lots to do with their upbringing, background and attitude. The book’s writing style uses almost entirely imagined conversations between a hiring manager and his guru, but Miller’s practical advice about interviewing questions and techniques provides excellent guidance. getAbstract recommends Miller’s notions mainly to managers hiring young workers, but job-hunters can also learn important lessons.

Take-Aways

  • Take hiring seriously: Training a new recruit can cost $200,000.
  • Learn to “hire on a WHIM” – hire those prospects who demonstrate a “work ethic, humility, integrity and maturity.”
  • Follow the WHIM hiring criteria closely if you’re considering recent college graduates.
