Book Editorial Review

by Robin Surface


I was so pleasantly surprised by this book’s witty and fast-paced writing style. This is the complete opposite of all those stodgy, dry, boring business books!


Along with the conversational and well-written text, there are also exercises and links to additional reading that help to create a dynamic and information-filled how-to guide.


Reading this book helped me to see why so many jobs are going unfulfilled or under-fulfilled right now - especially for smaller companies who don’t take the extra time to create job notices that attract the right candidates. A lot of the steps seem like common sense, but do require going the extra mile to be sure you, as the interviewer, are completely prepared so that you end up with the best candidates. The book did a great job of pointing out exactly how valuable that extra effort can be to a business.


The chapter summaries were also a great addition for those of us who tend to skim when reading!!


This book is a great step by step guide for more effective hiring.
