Essential reading for all employers........2000-05-04

Richard Fein's 101 Hiring Mistakes Employers Make covers the basic mistakes employers make; from not adequately conducting reference checks to relying too much on technology to make decisions. Especially valuable here are the case history examples pointing out just where the hiring process made assumptions without adequate probing.

Richard Fein, who's written a number of helpful books for the career seeker, has proven his versatility with this excellent resource for employers.

I enjoyed reading through the well-organized mistakes to avoid, which describe real-life mistakes... the lessons learned.. and to avoid making them. Fein emphasizes the importance of thorough background checks, provides helpful hints for reducing the time to hire without reducing the quality of candidates, creative ideas for recruiting, remembering your hiring procedures as a good guideline (with the understanding that they can be improved, successfully interviewing candidates, and smoothly transitioning new hires.

This book is also helpful for job seekers in that it shows you the red flags that employers look for!

A Practical Book and a Good Read.......2000-02-17

101 Hiring Mistakes Employers Make ... and How to Avoid Them is a quick, easy read that provides something employers can use: Sound advice that is clear, to the point and of practical importance. Learning from the mistakes of others is an effective way to save time, money and aggravation.

The nine chapters include ways to avoid the pitfalls of time pressure and ways to check references in an environment that is reluctant to provide them. There are good tips on making the relationship between HR and hiring managers more productive.

I recommend it to you.
