Anyone who recruits people faces the same challenge, whether they work for a giant company or a start-up, a Hollywood studio or a hospital. We all wonder how to tell the outstanding prospects from the ones who look great on paper but then fail on the job.
Or how to spot the ones who, despite their weak CVs, might still deliver extraordinary results. George Anders sought out the world's savviest talent judges to see what they do differently from the rest of us. He reveals how the US Army finds Special Forces soldiers without asking them to fire a single bullet. He takes us to an elite basketball tournament where the best scouts are watching the players who don't have the ball. He talks to researchers who are reinventing how to hire Fortune 500 CEOs. Anders reveals powerful ideas you can apply to your own career. In a new chapter for this paperback, 'Becoming a Rare Find', he explains how to flip these strategies and make sure your own talent isn't missed. 'Brightly engaging . . . It's Moneyball for human resources.' New York Post 'A rare find in itself- a business book that is actually fun to read.' Fortune 'Wide ranging and stimulating.' Financial Times
