How to Hire the Right Person & How to Prepare for an Interview

Are you preparing for a job interview or concerned about hiring the right people? We can help! Managers and job seekers will gain helpful interviewing tips and information about how to interview and how to hire in our new books.

HIRE with FIRE, a recruitment & hiring book, discusses the relationship-driven interview and hiring method designed to help employers hire engaged employees. The book teaches how to interview someone and offers various interview techniques and creative ideas.  These ideas are designed to improve the candidate experience, build  your employer brand, and hire the right people. Filled with interview questions for managers, Hire with Fire will help you hire the right person for the job.

For job seekers and candidates, Dandyworx also offers INTERVIEW with DESIRE and GET HIRED, a job interview preparation book. Through six successful steps, the authors discuss how to prepare for a job interview, communicate during the interview process, and how to interview well. Discover the important questions to ask in a job interview.

Communication is vital during the interview process.  It doesn’t matter which side of the interview table you represent. Whether you are an employer trying to fill an open position for your company, or a candidate trying to get the job, it is crucial for you to know how to conduct yourself during the interview process.  By developing your interviewing skills and learning how to prepare for an interview, you can build a trusting working-relationship with the other party.

The interview and hiring process can be a stressful time for both the interviewer and the interviewee. During an interview, both the candidate and the employer only have a few minutes to make a lasting impression on each other. The 30- 60 minutes spent during an interview not only determine if the candidate gets the job, but it also determines if the candidate wants the job.

Whether you are a manager interviewing for your next great hire or a job seeker seeking your dream job, each of these books will help you see interviewing from a new perspective. With over two decades of experience recruiting top talent, the authors, Denise and Randy Wilkerson, offer you valuable insight into the interview and hiring process.
