John Fayad, CEO and Publisher of Business Book Review, commented, "In Strategic Hiring: Tomorrow's Benefits Today, Stephen J. Blakesley imparts fact-based insights and strategic discipline to the hiring process – from job definition to performance management. In one text, business professionals will have a clear and concise guide to employee selection and retention. HR professionals will want to own this book."
Strategic Hiring (ISBN: 0-9746436-1-0, $24.95) is based on Blakesley's 35 years of experience in developing corporate systems that work. Centered on his theory that hiring superior people hinges first on defining superior performance, Strategic Hiring unveils findings from Blakesley's ten-year study of what separates those who are superior performers from those who are not.
Divided into two sections, Strategic Hiring explains how organizations can successfully identify, develop and keep outstanding people. Moreover, Strategic Hiring includes a performance-based job description that clarifies the meaning of superior performance, an ideal candidate profile, a benchmarking system that guarantees job fit, a performance tracking system that measures performance and a coaching system that powers the mentoring process.
Part roadmap, part hiring bible, Strategic Hiring presents clear action steps through which organizations will reduce turnover, increase productivity, maximize performance, facilitate dynamic growth and create a workforce capable of meeting the demands of tomorrow's marketplace.
