Who

The A Method for Hiring

De: Geoff Smart, Randy Street

Narrado por: Patrick Lawlor

It's happened to the best of us. You have a job opening to fill. You interview a range of qualified candidates and hire the best of the bunch - or so you think. You soon realize that the person who seemed like a perfect fit during the interview doesn't have what it takes to do the job.

In Who, Geoff Smart and Randy Street, of the management consulting firm ghSmart, combine their experiences training thousands of managers and executives with the most revealing and comprehensive research ever on the subject of how to hire successfully, as well as advice and stories from more than 20 billionaires and 60 CEOs. The result is a simple, four-step method for hiring with confidence, designed for everyone from the CEO on down. Who shows you how to avoid the most common pitfalls of hiring, how to identify "A Players" - people who can perform their job better than 90 percent of the candidates in their field - and how to make sure the best candidate will be excited to join your organization.

Hiring is every bit as important an element of successful business as other key principles, such as leadership and strategy. Who should be required listening for anyone in a management position.

Here's the missing link to materials!

Great read but as mentioned in previous reviews, Audible is missing the link to the accompanying materials. A bit of digging yielded this: https://whothebook.com/smarttools-for-leaders/

Hope this helps!

Now I know what to ask in an interview!

Such clear, concise, rich advice on how to think about and execute great hiring! It will make all the difference in a managers career!

Exceptional

What made the experience of listening to Who the most enjoyable?

This book is in my top 5 business books out of about 200. It is incredibly informative, and provides meaningful and easy to follow techniques for the single most important aspect of good business: hiring the right people. I told a lot of people about this book excitedly.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Who?

Some stories had me laughing out loud.

Have you listened to any of Patrick Lawlor’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Of all the audible books, this narrator was my favorite. He is most definitely different, but I found his way of speaking to "sharp", and greatly helped me remember the material.

awesome

very informative and inspiring. I can't wait to listen to the next one bu this author.

Surprisingly Good

Usually short books seem to be rushed and poorly done. This book was packed with information and advice.
