Samenvatting:

Hiring is about so much more than acquiring talent; it is about learning human behaviour, discerning capability and assessing a large number of checkpoints in a small amount of time.
It’s a lesser-known fact that hiring manpower can teach us several realities of life. Though widely proclaimed as a critical function by leadership, the recruitment activity does not get its share of recognition in the system even today.

The book is a compilation of 17 real-time incidents that occurred during hiring activities in various parts of India and each story has a takeaway, a lesson to teach, in the event that you are involved in any stage of hiring talent for your organisation.

For the general reader, this book could be an eye-opener into a very layered process and could help one understand different shades of human behaviour. It could also be resourceful for a corporate leader to understand how a situation could turn nasty when the hiring system fails or when there is a bad hire on- board.
