As an employment lawyer, I assist employers on a daily basis to deal with employment issues that arise as a result of hiring the wrong person. While not Hiring for Fit gives employment lawyers work, it can be very costly for employers, not only financially but also in terms of business productivity, employee morale, and wasted resources. This book provides a comprehensive guide to employers on how to hire the right person from the start so they can avoid the legal and other negative consequences that result when they dont!

Hiring for Fit provides actionable guidance in making great hiring decisions. Janet takes you through a structured process that clarifies the meaning of fit and how to find it. And the books Fit in Action stories and tips to avoid hiring pitfalls are very relatable. By applying Janets proven approach, I avoided what might be considered a safer same-to-same type candidate and selected a bright, curious person from another industry who was an excellent hire. The Hiring-for-Fit approach provides me the structure to support better decisions that repeatedly result in excellent long-term hires, and it will help you too!
Jim ONeill, CPA, CA, Acc.Dir.

Hiring for Fit is a great resource for navigating the challenge of recruiting successfully, where hiring failures are costly in monetary terms, to employee morale, and, ultimately, to business purpose. If youre responsible in any way for hiring, having this guide to hand and referring to it over and over again will surely mitigate the risk of falling into the trap of hiring only for apparent technical compatibility and not paying enough attention to the right soft skills that play such a significant part in building great teams and providing excellent service, whatever industry youre in.

Abstract
A key skill for any leader is the ability to hire a great team, and this skill requires a considerable depth of knowledge of the complex subject of fit. Most organizations talk about the need to hire for fit, but many go about hiring in the wrong way because their leaders dont fully understand the concept of fit. The results are poor performance and unnecessary and costly turnover.
Hiring for Fit goes to the heart of what fit really means and provides expert insight for anyone involved in making hiring decisions. In over 30 years of experience in executive search and career management, Janet Webb has studied the personality traits and attributes of successful hires in a wide range of roles and has developed a system to hire the right fit for any role. This system recognizes that each role is unique and requires specific traits for success. The entire process outlined in the book, from identifying and screening top talent to onboarding new hires and supporting the development of senior leaders, is an application of Janet Webbs unique Trait Alignment Protocol (TAP), which is the key to identifying fit and maintaining fit over the long term.
The book provides leaders with practical steps they can follow to apply fit successfully in the hiring process and explains the meaning of fit, how to develop the job description into a position profile that incorporates fit requirements for each specific organization and role, how to structure the hiring process to determine fit, and how to interview candidates to reveal genuine fit with the job and the organization. The book also details steps for maintaining a focus on fit after the hire by providing strategies for onboarding, performance reviews, retention, career development, and succession planning.
In addition, the book contains a Hiring-for-Fit Checklist, which is a tool for monitoring adherence to the key steps in applying TAP in hiring for fit, and a chapter on how to avoid common hiring pitfalls. Each chapter includes a Fit in Action feature with examples from real-life hiring challenges.
By applying the thorough and practical fit strategy described in the book, leaders will gain expertise in the complex subject of fit; replace seat-of-the-pants hiring with a reliable process; gain confidence in assessing a candidates fit; make well-founded hiring decisions that avoid common hiring pitfalls; and pave the way for employee retention, promotions, and succession planning that add to the bottom line.
