Recommendation

Richard S. Deems’ concise guide to hiring and keeping the best employees (even after they’ve left your company, as "lifetime affiliates"), is chock full of timely, solid advice for those who screen, interview and hire. Knowing how the other side is thinking will also come in handy for those who are job-hunting, so this little gem is really for job seekers, too. Written simply, directly, yet with a breezy, intelligent style, the book is filled with tips, lists, questions and sample scenarios that will get you through the process, whether you’re an interviewer or interviewee. getAbstract recommends this book to anyone who’s hiring new employees, concerned about keeping current employees or hunting for a job.
