Geoff solves every manager's #1 problem: making hiring mistakes
Geoff is co-author of Who: The A Method for Hiring (Random House, 2008). The book is a New York Times Bestseller, Wall Street Journal Bestseller, USA Today Bestseller, and was ranked the #1 bestseller of all books on Amazon. Over 20 different billionaire entrepreneurs were interviewed exclusively for this book (a record) to collect their best advice and stories on this important subject. The largest statistical study every done on this topic was conducted with the University of Chicago's Steve Kaplan, which revealed some startling findings about types of candidates who succeed and fail. A simple and practical solution is presented. Over 20 CEOs have endorsed Who.
During this program, the stories and advice draw from some of the most extensive research, interviews, and experiences ever assembled on the topic of talent management.
- Why are most managers terrible at hiring?
- How to generate a source of the right candidates?
- What to look for to pick the right one?
- How to sell the ideal candidate on accepting a job at your company?
The session includes a significant amount of audience interaction including live demonstrations of the interview techniques, audience realtime Q&A, and simple "takeaway tools and templates" to help attendees maximize financial performance and their own career success.
