Book excerpt: In this instant New York Times Bestseller, Geoff Smart and Randy Street provide a simple, practical, and effective solution to what The Economist calls “the single biggest problem in business today”: unsuccessful hiring. The average hiring mistake costs a company $1.5 million or more a year and countless wasted hours. This statistic becomes even more startling when you consider that the typical hiring success rate of managers is only 50 percent. The silver lining is that “who” problems are easily preventable. Based on more than 1,300 hours of interviews with more than 20 billionaires and 300 CEOs, Who presents Smart and Street’s A Method for Hiring. Refined through the largest research study of its kind ever undertaken, the A Method stresses fundamental elements that anyone can implement–and it has a 90 percent success rate. Whether you’re a member of a board of directors looking for a new CEO, the owner of a small business searching for the right people to make your company grow, or a parent in need of a new babysitter, it’s all about Who. Inside you’ll learn how to • avoid common “voodoo hiring” methods • define the outcomes you seek • generate a flow of A Players to your team–by implementing the #1 tactic used by successful businesspeople • ask the right interview questions to dramatically improve your ability to quickly distinguish an A Player from a B or C candidate • attract the person you want to hire, by emphasizing the points the candidate cares about most In business, you are who you hire. In Who, Geoff Smart and Randy Street offer simple, easy-to-follow steps that will put the right people in place for optimal success.

Several steps are taken in personnel employment: 1) the position requirements and needed skills are determined; 2) a search is conducted within and outside the organization through position advertisement and recruitment procedures; 3) job applicants are assessed through application procedures, personal interviews, and tests; 4) the selected employee is notified, enrolled in benefit programs, and oriented to job and organization policies. Special attention must be given to laws relating to personnel selection. Employers should be aware of legislation that protects against discrimination for minorities, older persons, women, veterans, and handicapped persons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed to assist practitioners in developing interview procedures for their organizations, this work shows how competence-based human resource management techniques can be applied to employment interviews.

Leading the practitioner through the three-step interview process—preparation, interviewing techniques, and evaluation of applicants—this guide provides sample questions, a case study, and forms to help the reader conduct successful structured interviews. Also included is a chapter on issues related to equal opportunity employment and a comprehensive review of the literature on structured interviewing.

Download or read book Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders written by Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Look around your office. Turn on the TV. Incompetent leadership is everywhere, and there's no denying that most of these leaders are men. In this timely and provocative book, Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic asks two powerful questions: Why is it so easy for incompetent men to become leaders? And why is it so hard for competent people--especially competent women--to advance? Marshaling decades of rigorous research, Chamorro-Premuzic points out that although men make up a majority of leaders, they underperform when compared with female leaders. In fact, most organizations equate leadership potential with a handful of destructive personality traits, like overconfidence and narcissism. In other words, these traits may help someone get selected for a leadership role, but they backfire once the person has the job. When competent women--and men who don't fit the stereotype--are unfairly overlooked, we all suffer the consequences. The result is a deeply flawed system that rewards arrogance rather than humility, and loudness rather than wisdom. There is a better way. With clarity and verve, Chamorro-Premuzic shows us what it really takes to lead and how new systems and processes can help us put the right people in charge.
Download or read book Using the concepts of reliability and validity critically examine how confident Human Resource professionals should be in using interviews as an effective selection technique written by Peter Tilman Schuessler and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2002-12-04 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2002 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, grade: 15 of 20, University of St Andrews (Management Department), course: Human Resource management, language: English, abstract: Using the concepts of reliability and validity, critically examine how confident Human Resource professionals should be in using interviews as an effective selection technique. Interviews are the most common selection technique for recruiting. Notwithstanding, this method has been frequently criticised. It is the task of this essay to evaluate how valid and reliable they are. Therefore, firstly validity and reliability have to be defined to form a basis to start with. Secondly, different types of interviews, beginning with the traditional type, will be presented and analysed. Thirdly, attempts to standardise and improve the interview in terms of reliability and validity will be critically examined. Finally a short outlook will be given, to show that not everything can be related to be reliable and valid. This text will analyse only selection interviews as the topic refers mainly to these. Furthermore it will only deal with personal interviews of employees, which excludes, for example, telephone screening1. Every selection method has weaknesses and therefore it will become clear that interviews are not absolutely valid and reliable, but nevertheless to fill certain vacant positions they will be still irreplaceable. Reliability and Validity are the two key characteristics that interviews have to have to be a suitable method for selection. They measure if the chosen methods provide consistent results and if they adequately measure the characteristic they are looking at2. “Reliability means that the selection methods, tests and ensuing results are consistent and do not vary with time, place or different subjects”3. Or as Cowling puts it: “Reliability is a measure of the consistency with which a predictor continues to predict performance with the same degree of success”4. That means that, for instance, two interviews at a different time and place, with different interviewers and questions but under otherwise same conditions and with the same applicants will bring the same result; namely the best candidate should still be the best and the interviewees who failed should still fail5. It is also possible to maintain the conditions, the applicants and the structure but to change the other parameters of the assessment.
Download or read book Structured Interviews written by United States. Office of Personnel Management and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This guide provides practical information on designing structured interviews. The guide discusses why interviews should have structure, what structure consists of, and how to conduct a structured interview. It also addresses the pros and cons of different types of interview questions and helpful/harmful interviewing techniques. Additionally, the guide provides practical tools for developing and implementing a structured interview. For step-by-step checklists for implementing and developing a structured interview, refer to Appendix A and Appendix B, respectively. The guidance on developing and administering structured interviews applies to interviews formally rated as part of the assessment process, as well as those used by the selection official to verify a candidate's qualifications after he/she has been rated by other assessment procedures. However, since responses are typically not scored in a selecting official's interview, the information in this document related to developing and using rating scales may be of limited use for the selecting official's interview. This guide is not intended to be exhaustive of the possible approaches to developing a structured interview, but to provide one effective method. Additional information on assessment methods is available in OPM's online Personnel Assessment and Selection Resource Center. Please see also The Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures and the Delegated Examining Operations Handbook."--Page 4.
