Until now, companies have been recruiting by focusing on the skills of the candidates. These are obviously important, but they do not guarantee employee performance. Indeed, who would want to work with someone who is expert in his or her field, but unpleasant, selfish and stubborn? Mark Murphy discovered that the majority of hiring errors were due to relationship problems: difficulties adapting, listening or lack of motivation. To remedy this, he suggests that you think about recruitment differently, that you value the attitude of the person in the workplace. Don't recruit an impersonal CV anymore, choose the right person for you! *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!
