Guide Review - Strategic Hiring: Tomorrow's Benefits Today

With 35 years in the corporate world, CEO and leading hiring expert Stephen Blakesley has learned a lot about hiring and managing employees. He shares some of his experience and knowledge in his latest book Strategic Hiring: Tomorrow's Benefits Today.

The book is a great read and touches on everything from finding the ideal job candidate to managing employee performance and productivity. Readers will learn how to reduce turnover and increase productivity by hiring the right candidate from the start.

I especially enjoyed the chapters on interviewing, initiating growth, and performance reviews, but I think readers will be able to get a lot out of the entire book.

In conclusion, I highly recommend Strategic Hiring: Tomorrow's Benefits Today to any business, large or small. The book is insightful and exactly what employers and employees of today's business world need.
