NEW YORK, April 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Foolproof Hiring: Powerful, Proven Keys to Hiring High Performers by Brad Smart and Chris Mursau is now available. The book is published with Forbes Books, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes, and is available on Amazon today.

This nationally known and time-tested hiring methodology has been a proven winner in finding A-players for thousands of businesses for more than thirty years. In Foolproof Hiring, business leaders and the authors present an instruction course in the basics of Topgrading, allowing any leader to understand and easily implement the core concepts of the world's most effective hiring system.

Talent is the primary lever for achieving success, yet most companies experience too many mis-hires. Common hiring methods boil down to this: write a vague job description, recruit too few candidates, screen them with tests they can easily game, conduct short interviews that "fool you," and conduct reference calls that are usually worthless. 

Conversely, Topgrading methods persuade candidates to be open and honest, teach interview methods that reveal candidate weaknesses as well as strengths, and assure rock-solid verification of candidate claims. With these solutions, Topgrading is the only hiring method that consistently produces high-performing, A-player hires. 

Deploying an effective mix of narrative, anecdotes, third-party research, and more, Smart and Mursau bring real-life hiring scenarios into sharp focus, enabling managers to jump-start their efforts to find and hire more high performers. It's like a "First Aid" course in Topgrading, laying a solid foundation for managers to immediately hire better, no matter the size of their company.

Any hiring manager – not just CEOs and HR managers – can benefit from the tools and processes in Foolproof Hiring. Why settle for mediocre hiring methods when you can leverage the knowledge and experience of proven methods to find and hire top talent? Foolproof Hiring cuts through the noise, delivering the commonsense keys that will boost your hiring success.
