A good employee is hard to find even with the help of the now popular social media. The difficulty is generally proportional to the position to be filled; i.e., the higher the position the more difficult the search and the vetting of candidates. Small businesses are not exempt from this and thus managers must be well prepared for the entire process of hiring; interviewing candidates is a key part of the process.

Managers are not skilled or confident in the processes of selecting and hiring employees or don’t want to invest the time and energy that is required. In some cases it is because they don’t want the expense related to the selection, hiring and training, not realizing that it can be much more costly not hiring needed help or—worst yet—keeping wrong employees on the payroll.

The book gives suggestions and recommendations to make the interview efficient, effective and enjoyable.
