    • Practical, pragmatic, and to the point
Anyone who has ever been involved in the hiring process knows that there's a gap between finding candidates who market themselves well and finding the ones who will excel on the job. This book takes some of the mystery out of the process of filling that gap by suggesting practical approaches for assessing the character traits that are common to high performers, and how your organization might need to change to attract those people. It's also useful if you're a job seeker who wants to differentiate yourself from the rest of the field. This book is clearly and concisely written, a quick read, but by no means fluffy. Instead, it does what the interview process itself seeks to do: distill what's important, make the next steps obvious, and let everyone get back to the business at hand in a more successful way. Bravo! ... show more

    • Insightful and compelling!
What I like most about the book is how usable it is. David brings his insights and experience together in a practical way so that a manager can both appreciate the insights and use his material in actually hiring a top performer. David takes the guesswork out of the equation,using the concepts around character and competency, sharing current research and frameworks in ways that help a manager really diagnose what s/he needs in a candidate. I find the book very helpful as I am using his material in a current hiring situation. Great read! ... show more

    • Thank goodness...
I've been hiring people for most of my career and I'm relieved that David Snyder documented what *should* have been in the gut of every hiring manager - it's all about character. His anecdotes, humor - even song references - made this a quick read, but crucial for any company who wants to go forward and not stay stagnant. What I got out of this is that it's more important to hire a person than a skillset. Sometimes it's hard to convince the higher ups, but this book will now be my armor to do just that. If you will hire anyone anytime soon (or in the future) read this first. ... show more

    • Solid practical and useful information
Some steps a hiring manager takes are easy enough, such as assessing a candidate's skill, employment history and educational background. But some steps are a far greater challenge, like determining an applicant's character, motivation and tenacity. David Snyder, a business consultant with a psychology graduate degree from Harvard, believes that managers must be able to evaluate applicants' personality traits to hire the right people. His assertions are hard to dispute. His book is loaded with good advice, although the writing can get choppy and repetitive. Still, getAbstract believes Snyder provides solid, practical and useful information. When you think how hard it is to live with - or discard - an incorrect hire, you'll want to be sure you take on the right people. ... show more

    • High Performers are More than a Skill Spec Sheet
David Snyder offers a candid look at what separates high performers from those who just collect a paycheck. Further, the book points out the employer responsibility to identify what is relevant to job performance such that search criteria are valid. A good read for those seeking to hire or looking to be hired reminding us that high performers are a total package of skills and personal traits aligned to a position rather than a laundry list of past skills. ... show more

    • Great read!
This a a very well written book that can be applied to employers and employees in multiple ways. I not only recommend reading it once, but applying it as a guide over and over is where it's usefulness really shines. -Dave W
