Description:

With decades of experience as both a line manager at Fortune 500 companies and a headhunter specializing in the executive positions that run them, Lou Adler has witnessed virtually every hiring mistake known to the corporate world. He even admits to making a few himself. In response he has developed his "POWER staffing" technique, which allows recruiters to focus on an employment candidate's ability to actually perform well on the job--rather than merely perform well during an interview. For the past 20 years, Adler has been teaching his program to individuals and corporations who want to improve their success rate in this arena, and Hire with Your Head: A Rational Way to Make a Gut Decision translates the process onto the printed page in a clear, down-to-earth manner. By elaborating on his five key principles (acronymically dubbed performance profiles, objective evaluations, wide-ranging sourcing, emotional control, and recruiting [hence POWER]), he is able to address the entire spectrum of relevant staffing issues, which ranges from finding and evaluating candidates to bringing them aboard on mutually favorable terms. The final chapter describes practical ways to implement the plan, while an appendix includes worksheets and other templates designed to help readers do so. --Howard Rothman
