Download or read book Hire on a Whim written by Garrett Miller and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09-07 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the four nonnegotiable, nonteachable qualities that you must hire? Can you be sure, really sure, that the person you are about to hire is the one? We've all experienced that feeling of buyer's remorse when what we thought we "needed" isn't as fabulous as we thought it would be. Many managers have a similar feeling, "hire's remorse," after they extend an offer to a prospective employee and get that small but unmistakable twinge in the gut. Hiring for a new position doesn't have to be this way. Hire on a WHIM breaks down the essentials, not of whom to hire, but what to hire. What makes these four qualities essential is that no matter how great a manager you are, these are attributes you can't teach. As one expert put it, "These essentials are part of a candidate's DNA; they either have them, or they don't." So, before you make that job offer, be sure your future employee has what it takes to be hired on a WHIM. "Managers, at every level must hire the right qualities in order to field the best team. WHIM will help managers succeed in this area." Ed Breen, CEO, TYCO "With over twenty-two years of management experience at the district, regional and national level, I have been directly involved with recruiting and hiring of hundreds candidates. The successful hires all come down to the four key facets Garrett addresses." Russ Gasdia, VP of Sales and Marketing, Purdue Pharmaceuticals "Very simple, yet WHIM can have a profound positive effect on your hiring decisions. Garrett's approach addresses the non-teachable and non-negotiable personality traits that are essential for making great hires." Larry Smith, VP of Global Supply Chain, Becton Dickinson "If you want to be an amazing recruiter then read WHIM. Garrett and Dr. Thrasher's ideas are so clear, concise and easy to understand. No matter what success I'm having as a recruiter, this book will make me better." Chuck Sutton, Head of Recruiting, E&J Gallo and Sons

However, if you can manage to lure them to you then there is less competition and you are speaking to those you most want to hire.
