How can I improve the quality of my hires? What's the best way to structure interviews and how can I ensure that the questions I ask provide the information I need? How can I make sure that hiring decisions are based on data and not judgements?

The Hiring Handbook is a must-have guide for HR professionals, managers and small business owners looking to hire with confidence. This practical toolkit walks you through every stage of the hiring process-from defining job requirements to designing structured interviews-so you can consistently identify and select the best candidates.

It covers how to conduct job analyses to pinpoint the skills and attributes that truly matter, write compelling job descriptions that attract top talent, and design structured interviews that lead to fair and accurate hiring decisions. The book also explains how to craft strong, predictive interview questions, evaluate candidates objectively, and minimize bias by adopting a data-driven approach to hiring. Written by hiring experts with deep assessment and selection expertise from global firms like Korn Ferry, Airbnb, and Meta, The Hiring Handbook equips you with the tools to build high-performing teams and make hiring decisions that drive long-term success.
