Hiring right at consulting companies

Tobias Plate

2007

The success of consulting firms depends on the people who work for them. What counts are not only technical skills, but also innovative abilities, creativity and interpersonal skills. This means that professional hiring approaches that consider both technical and personal skills are of crucial importance.

Tobias Plate provides insight into the basics of employee selection. He discusses the current state of psychological research as well as tools and indicators. Plate empirically analyzes consultancies' concepts for optimizing hiring and shows options for assessing the costs and financial benefits of these optimization approaches. This helps HR managers come up with the financial KPIs that management requires these days.
