The Evaluation Interview

by Richard A.; Chiron Fear, Robert J. Chiron

When first published over 30 years ago, The Evaluation Interview gained immediate recognition as one of the best books on the subject of interviewing. Since then it has become widely acknowledged as the essential reference for organizations and personnel interviewers. The American Society for Personnel Administration even named the second edition the ``outstanding human resource management book'' of 1978. Now updated and revised, The Evaluation Interview is more useful than ever. With the increasing globalization of business, cut-throat competitiveness, and corporate downsizing, it is imperative that organizations hire more versatile people and retrain and develop employees already on board. This indispensable guide shows companies how to do just that, focusing on the many applications of Richard Fear's proven step-by-step method for assessing an applicant's work history, education, social adjustment, and motivation. New to the fourth edition are sections applying interview techniques for team-building, for strategic visioning, and for appraisal information feedback--a powerful tool for improving motivation and employer relations. What's more, it includes a new interview guide for college recruiters and forms and guidelines for recording and evaluating the results. The Evaluation Interview, Fourth Edition, is certain to continue setting the standards for how American businesses can hire and keep the best employees.
