This helpful resource will show you what you're doing wrong with hiring and how to fix it.

It's frustrating. You're up to date on all the newest interview techniques. You know what to look for on candidates' résumés. You inspect social media profiles for red flags and put them through an in-depth panel interview. They pass with flying colors.

It's the same cycle: you diligently sort through résumés to find the cream of the crop. You have amazing interviews and confidently land on the one, but two weeks into the job and the one turns out to be the wrong one. What gives? Well, you're clearly screwing something up, and it's time to find out what it is.

How Not to Hire is filled with interviews and stories of people who were being held back by the things they didn't realize were working against them. The workplace is a minefield filled with politics and unspoken rules. This book is here to teach you:

  • How you're screwing it up and what to do about it
  • How other people screwed it up before figuring it out
  • What you should stop doing immediately
  • What you should be doing more of
  • Now, stop panicking and letting frustration hold you back. How Not to Hire is the tool you need to get the best candidates for the interview and the right person for the job!
