Christof Damian reviewed Effective Hiring Manager by Mark Horstman
Review of 'Effective Hiring Manager' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I was looking for a book about hiring and behavioural interviews and this
mostly fit the bill.
It goes into the different stages of hiring: preparation, screening, interviews,
deciding & offering and on-boarding.
I liked the focus on looking for reasons to say "no" through the whole
process.
I would have liked to have more about behavioural interviews, but the section
was at least a good introduction.
The suggested whole interview process with every interviewer repeating the same
questions seems a bit tedious. I am sure the results are great. I wonder what
effect this has on the interviewees.
In general the book assumes a buyers market with the attitude towards the
applicants only switching in the offer phase.
The on-boarding section is short and punchy. This comes across as a bit of an
afterthought.
