267 Hire Tough Proven Interview Questions : For Hiring the Best Hourly Employees

Until recently, it's been the norm for employers to invest a lot of time, money, and care in the selection of their management personnel and to view hourly employees as replaceable cogs in a wheel. This outdated, wrong-headed practice is exactly what will separate the losers from the winners in the new millenium. Today's exemplary organizations all have one thing in common - they place an unusually high significance on the selection of every employee- managers, supervisors, and hourlies. Over 70% of the U.S. workforce is comprised of frontline workers and the firms that will fall by the wayside are those that continue to pay scant attention to how these hourly employees are interviewed and selected. 267 Hire Tough Proven Interview Questions is a must-have for everyone who hires or manages hourly employees.
