The Right Hire

How to ensure you hire the best people for your company
John Taylor & Adrian Stones

A cutting-edge guide to selecting and hiring the right people.

Every company has to recruit staff, and in smaller companies where there are no specialist human resource departments, this task is left to managers. This book provides those who interview and recruit staff with the methods and confidence to make the right appointment. The authors – experts in the latest, cutting-edge methods for recruitment – focus on how to work up a shortlist and how to exclude those who attempt to deceive, exaggerate or play fast and loose with the truth in their CVs and during the interview phase. Moreover, they stress employers need to think more creatively about their recruitment process. Qualifications and experience are important, but so is a candidate’s potential to learn and to adapt to the company. The authors provide the tools to help employers assess these areas.

JOHN TAYLOR is a consultant who specializes in human resources. He is the author of The Dark Side of Behaviour at Work (with Adrian Furnham, Palgrave) and Learning at Work (Palgrave).

ADRIAN STONES is the Operations Director at Alaco, a company that provides risk management services (including screening out recruitment risks).
