**Greatness Starts with Hiring the Right People. **
WHEN YOU GET HIRING RIGHT-bringing A Players into the organization and giving them the freedom they need-you set yourself up to succeed. Then why do so many hiring managers get it so wrong so often?
It's because they take the easy way out: gather a bunch of résumés, find what looks like a decent match, ask the same uninspired questions, and hope for the best, which statistically turns out to be a mis-hire about half the time.
The good news is there is a better way. One that can help you uncover dishonesty by applicants, overcome a lack of sufficient information about who candidates really are, and verify the facts you need to make effective hiring decisions. It's Topgrading, the breakthrough hiring method pioneered by Brad Smart.
Now, Smart and his coauthor, Chris Mursau, share the key elements of the Topgrading system distilled into an easy-to-read guidebook. They identify the most vexing hiring problems and deliver clear, practical solutions.
What would hiring 75, 80, or even 90 percent high performers do for you, your career, and your organization? Let Foolproof Hiring show you the most proven keys to successful hiring.
