You are probably not hiring right now. At least, a lot of people aren’t. And you may not so much hire as outsource, sometimes to people you may never meet.  But there is still a culture to your company or where you work and getting to the heart of that will help you do a better job. This book, The Collaborative Hiring Process could get you there.

Not only that, but I think we should all be accumulating the best career and business ebooks for our ebook library, saving for the day when we might be able to spring for a $300 plus Kindle, ebook reader from Amazon. ( I am holding off until 2009 when they are rumored to be coming out with a new version to fix a few glitches.)

I, personally, have not read The Collaborative Hiring Process yet, although I’ve just downloaded it, largely based on the recommendation of …..

Becky McCray,  business consultant, business owner, and cattle rancher, author of one of the top 100 business blogs, SmallBiz Survival.

It’s awesome. Really. I found myself reading it, at first, focused on offering feedback. Then I’m sucked in. I’m thinking about hiring, about my people, about what you had to say. That’s it. It’s a success.

As you can see in the blurb above, Becky is a great blog writer, and that’ the only way I know her, but I always have confidence in what she says because she is very straight forward and unvarnished which are, perhaps, small town virtues.  She has also been an antiques dealer, city administrator, nonprofit executive and newspaper reporter. Awhile back, Becky shared ” 5 Things People May Not Know About Me”, two of which are…

1. Her first business venture was washing cars in junior high school.

2. In a previous tight economic time, she went to work in the local laundry and dry cleaners for six months. She lost 15 pounds, learned a bunch, and gained a serious appreciation for her great-grandmother who worked in a laundry for many years.

That’s the kind of woman you can trust not to pull the wool over your eyes when she tells you something is good.

Becky has her own business book you can download but I’m going to send you to her own page to do it, if you like, because the book has a sponsor, and it also offers a coupon, and you might be interested in that:

And here’s another free ebook by an associate which Becky highly recommends…. and it could be a first book to keep your future Kindle warm at night.

And enjoy!
