The premise of the book is that any company's workforce can be improved through the intelligent use of the four major hiring tools - interview, resume, reference checking and testing. The intended audience is small to medium-sized businesses whose owner/manager must hire without the benefit of an in-house Human Resource department. The book reviews the problems inherent in the deteriorating American workforce and points ways toward developing the best workforce possible from the current talent pools. The importance of the intelligent worker and the intelligent workforce are emphasized. How to get intelligence? Through simple testing techniques which are laid out in the book.
