User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars High value, original, concise
Here’s a rare thing: a document that provides high value, covers a topic not widely understood with original insights, and is easy to read and apply. Rather than provide an lengthy tome for academics, the author has provided a work of potentially immediate use, in a form not likely to threaten busy managers. And the subject (emotional intelligence)is one of intrinsic value to all involved: employers, employees, HR managers, etc. Highly recommended.
5 Stars At Last: Using EQ When Looking for Talent
Adele Lynn has done it again! This book will help you apply Emotional Intelligence in the real world, and recruit talented people with the right outlook and attitude. By using EQ during the interview process, you’ll hire people more aligned with your organization’s values and goals, instead of just employees who can do the job.

5 Stars An Excellent tool to hire talents
The organizations have made every effort to hire people involved, especially leaders with skills to recognize talent, hire them and keep them in business, and now more than ever these powers are necessary to overcome tense moments, and uncertain scenarios. Before those hiring happen so empirical, but Adele Lynn brings us concrete and specific ways to help all who need to find the right people, with suggestions of objective questions to be put to the applicants.
This would also help the interviewers in their self-development and knowledge.
The timing of the interview is unique and should be viewed not as a routine task, which seeks to fit the candidate profile within the tried, but to really listen this person who is in front of us, and try to understand her/him, with experiences, dreams, successes, failures, stories of life, especially values, and then we can see if this person could contribute to the organization and where he/she could feel performed with the challenges that he/she will face.
5 Stars A Great Interviewing Resource – How to Hire for Attitude
The EQ Interview is a superb resource for a Human Resources department or hiring manager.
This book goes beyond emotional intelligence, it is an easy to use tool to hire for attitude.
In short, easy to understand sections, Adele Lynn outlines what a particular competency is, why it is important, specific questions to ask and what to look for in an answer. You can easily jump to a section you are interested in and after 10 or 15 minutes have a good sense of what to look for and how to do it.
As a recruiter and trainer, I highly recommend this book.
5 Stars Great Interviewing Book
Outstanding resource for hiring people. Since the research shows that emotional intelligence is important to job success, screening for EQ is a must for selecting the right candidate for the job. The author clearly explains each Eq competency using workplace examples, then she gives specific questions to ask and offers help in interpreting the answers. I also like the fact that she uses behavior based interviewing, but takes it a step further. I found the section on how to spot an EQ fraud helpful too. I would highly recommend this book.
