Customer Reviews

Recruiters should read this book!

In his not-so-politically-correct book TKO HIRING - Ten Knockout Strategies for Recruiting, Interviewing and Hiring Great People, Dave Anderson of Learn to Lead smacks some recruiting basics with simplicity and candor. Dave comes from the retail auto dealership world and brings a refreshing, straight-line perspective to the recruiting subject. Well written. To the point. Clear, basic, and confrontational. Uniquely presented and unstuffed. Don't buy this book if you're looking for the defining treatise on talent acquisition strategy and tactic. This is a basic book aimed at hiring managers stuck in a sloppy, bad-hire rut with the resulting poor performance and turnover. It's a slap (or punch, as the theme may suggest) in the face with inalterable hiring success basics. In summary, I think this is a good first level primer for executive leaders, hiring managers and recruiters alike. Especially for those who hire salespeople. I recommend that recruiters read it and remember the advice to hiring managers.

A Hiring Book Done Right!

Wow! I read this book and now I will keep it handy because it is packed with important hiring information. Dave's new TKO series is spectacular and I can't wait for more from him.
