"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. <i><b>The Hiring Handbook</b></i> 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, <b>Kasey </b>and <b>Mollie </b>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. It's strategy, ops and case studies all in one place. <i><b>The Hiring Handbook</b></i> is a definitive resource in embedding fair, legal and inclusive hiring practices into every stage of talent acquisition. As someone who has spent decades working with Global 500 organizations to align DEI with business outcomes, I can affirm that this guide uniquely bridges strategy and execution. For HR leaders seeking to build truly inclusive teams while maintaining rigor, this handbook is a must-have!"
Andrés Tapia, Senior Partner & Global DE&I Strategist, Korn Ferry, Author of Auténtico, The Inclusion Paradox.
"Hiring is the most important thing your organization will do. This new book takes a comprehensive look at the entire hiring process and translates technical and complex topics into friendly and accessible short chapters. The ideas and approaches shared here are supported by hard evidence and illustrated with stories, samples and practical tools. This book will be especially helpful for entrepreneurs and small-to-medium-sized business owners looking to level up their hiring game!"
Alexis Fink, Ph.D., Former VP, People Analytics at Meta, Author of Investing in People and Employee Surveys & Sensing
"How and who you hire is vitally important to every company's success... but let's face it, this mission-critical process often runs on messy autopilot across so many organizations. Thankfully, two thoughtful, seasoned assessment professionals have stepped in to write the book that should be sitting on every hiring manager's desk: <i><b>The Hiring Handbook</b></i>. <b>Kasey </b>and <b>Mollie </b>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.
Having worked with large, complex organizations myself, I recommend this book wholeheartedly to anyone who sees hiring well as a source of competitive advantage-which should be everyone!"
Melissa Swift, Founder & CEO Anthrome Insight, Author of Work Here Now: Think Like a Human and Build a Powerhouse Workplace
"<b><i>The Hiring Handbook</i> </b>is a practical, well-researched guide that distils decades of consulting and in-house expertise into something hiring managers can actually use. <b>Mollie </b>and <b>Kasey </b>bridge the gap between theory and real-world application, bringing deep, in-the-trenches experience to life through concrete guidance, clear frameworks and thoughtful commentary. Whether you're a seasoned HR leader or first-time manager, this evidence-based toolkit is both insightful and immediately usable."
Christopher Rotolo, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor of Industrial-Organizational Psychology at NYU and Chief Talent Officer at MiTek
"<b>Kasey </b>and <b>Mollie </b>have done what is often thought of as impossible: They have written a handbook that fully reflects the psychometric rigor of talent selection and assessment science. But they have packaged that science in a handbook that is engagingly written and provides clear, easy-to-follow, practical help that will equip organizations large and small to do a better job of selecting the talent they need to thrive."
