The HirePayoff™ Concept Goes International
Million Dollar Hire: Build Your Bottom Line, One Employee at a Time, the Book That Helped Launch HirePayoff™ Will Roll Out in China During 2014.
January 28, 2013 – In a more and more competitive global economy, the importance of every hiring decision being a solid investment continues to grow. Even with lower average compensation levels, the Asian economy, too, is beginning to focus on using recruitment and selection and employee testing to find the best talent – workers with the ‘Can Do’ and ‘Will Do’ competencies it takes to increase sales performance, grow employee engagement, reduce turnover rate, and improve employee retention.
“We were happy when informed that rights to Million-Dollar Hire: Build Your Bottom Line, One Employee at a Time (Jossey-Bass, April 2011) were
purchased from Jossey-Bass by a Chinese publisher, with a planned China rollout for early 2014,” says Dr. David Jones, the book’s author and head of HirePayoff™, the recruitment and selection employee testing venture launched as ideas about today’s best employee screening, testing, and assessment tools, presented Million-Dollar Hire, gained traction in the U.S. marketplace.
“As more and more employers in the U.S. asked us to frame online selection tools that tap critical candidate competencies, we built on the decades of examples presented in Million-Dollar Hire, rolling in today’s employee testing, technology, and legal test validation compliance tactics to bring everything to the cutting edge,” says Jones. “Obviously, other economies are facing the same need to find talent with the ‘Can Do’ and ‘Will Do’ competencies needed to succeed, and to grow employee engagement once on board. Now, it seems a matter of international competition,” adds Jones.
The ideas, tactics, and examples presented in Million-Dollar Hire can be viewed on the book’s website at http://www.million-dollarhire.com and seen in action at the www.hirepayoff.com website.
