Rezensionen

"Lou's book has equipped me to hire the best talent in the market and enabled our company to become a unicorn in under 5 years! Of the 450+ business books on my bookshelf, none have had such a profound impact as Hire With Your Head."
--Ian Jenkins, VP of Global Sales Operations at Cognite.

"While serving as a CEO of a food processing company I experienced firsthand the effectiveness of Lou's approach to hiring. It is a process that removes the emotion and focuses on hiring to meet your objectives and the needs of the position and the organization. I have recommended Lou to numerous companies and non-profit organizations. The results have all been the same - highly successful hires."
--Keith Swayne, Retired CEO, Case Swayne Co./International Food Solutions
