How to Hire A-Players: Finding the Top People for ... - GIT home page

‘‘Building successful start-ups is all about winning the war for ‘A’ talent.
The concept is simple. ‘A’ players attract other ‘A’ players while
‘B’ players attract ‘C’ players. You’d be well advised to put into practice
Eric’s philosophy and approach on attracting ‘A’ talent which mirrors
many of the practices I have seen work in the leading Silicon
Valley companies.’’

‘‘Great stuff—especially right now. This is not just another fluff business
book telling us what we already know but can’t execute. Eric has
pulled together a comprehensive, practical but more importantly
implementable process that every CEO or owner of a growing business
should use. If you’re interested in not just growing, but growing
smartly and profitably, and building a fabulous team that will get you
there, Eric’s book is a must-read.’’

‘‘Before I started my business, a businessman I greatly respect counseled
me that I would never be able to attract A-players. It made
sense to him because third-tier subcontractors don’t usually attract
the best and the brightest. Yet working with Eric and his principles,
and believing in what we offer to the best people, has led to an entire
team of A-players and more success than we could have imagined.’’
