""Over the course of my career helping large companies identify and develop talent, from the frontlines all the way up to senior executives-I've seen firsthand how often organizations, even the most sophisticated ones, get hiring wrong. Despite the stakes, too many organizations still rely on gut instinct over structured interviews, fall prey to internal bias and lack consistency in how they evaluate talent. The Hiring Handbook a clear, evidence-based guide that demystifies what great hiring actually looks like. It's a must-read for any leader serious about attracting and selecting the right people-and setting them up to succeed."" * Larry Emond, Senior Partner, Modern Executive Solutions, Former longtime Managing Partner, Gallup * ""When it comes to hiring, Kasey and Mollie really know their stuff and have the know-how and savviness to guide HR professionals through every possible nuance end-to-end throughout the Hiring supply chain.

Thankfully, two thoughtful, seasoned assessment professionals have stepped in to write the book that should be sitting on every hiring manager's desk: The Hiring Handbook. Kasey and Mollie are the real deal, having helped countless clients choose the talent they need for the future-and they've boiled down the most contemporary people science into digestible insights that anyone who needs to hire can act on.
