If you have ever made a bad hire, you know how costly and frustrating it can be. Research shows that the cost of a bad hire can be three times their annual salary, or more!

It's also expensive to hire and train a person with lots of talent and experience, and then place them in a job that really does not fit them. Their performance is likely to be poor, or at best, mediocre. Why settle for that? There is a better way... for them and for you.

This 45-page guide provides you with templates and examples for job descriptions, and shows you how to write a newspaper or Internet ad for your job. It includes interview and background reference questions to ask and has many checklists, as well as an Employer’s Guide to Surviving Employment Commission Appeals. If you have employees, this is critical information you need to have!
