Hire With Your Head: Using Performance-Based Hiring To Build Outstanding Diverse Teams, Fourth Edition

Since the talent market has undergone major changes over the past 10 years, this will be a major rewrite of the 2007 edition of Hire with Your Head, not just a chapter refresher. We'll be adding some new chapters, reorganizing the flow, modernizing the core concepts, and discussing the impact of new technologies including how Artificial Intelligence is becoming a core component of the hiring process.

Over the past few years, we have created a series of online training materials including self-paced courses, templates, scorecards and interview guides to help people master Performance-based Hiring. Some of this content will available via download for those who purchase the book including a number of free videos clarifying some of the critical points. These links will be included in the printed versions of the book and hot-linked in the Kindle version. Existing users of these training materials represent an instant market for the revised edition.

The audience for the book will be hiring managers, recruiters, and HR and business leaders from all types of companies including small startups and large well-known organizations throughout the world. If there's anything we've learned about hiring, it is that while much has changed, much hasn't: Everyone still struggles with hiring top talent on a consistent basis. This book will address these issues, not by helping people be more efficient doing what everyone else is already doing, but rather by rethinking the process from the perspective of a top person and how he or she looks for a new job and how these people compare offers and select opportunities. This change in viewpoint represents the critical first step in hiring stronger talent.

Bottom line: This book will be a hands-on practical guide for any hiring manager who wants to hire a great person and how the process can be scaled companywide.
