The Surprising Barrier Lou Adler Says Is Keeping Top Talent Out of Your Company

I spoke to Lou Adler, the CEO and founder of Performance-based Hiring Learning Systems – a consulting and training firm helping companies around the world improve quality of hire. In our conversation, Lou talks about what prevents companies from hiring the best talent, the factors that predict a quality hire, why you should never apply for a job, how he’s built his LinkedIn audience and his best career advice.
Lou is the author of the Amazon top-10 best-seller, Hire With Your Head (John Wiley & Sons, 3rd Edition, 2007), The Essential Guide for Hiring & Getting Hired (Workbench Media, 2013) and the Lynda.com Performance-based Hiring video training program (2016). Adler is one of the top bloggers on LinkedIn’s Influencer program writing about the latest trends in hiring, employment, and recruiting. His articles, quotes and research can now be found in Inc. Magazine, Business Insider, Bloomberg, SHRM and The Wall Street Journal. The company’s new mobile ready learning platform – The Hiring Machinesm – provides instant access to all of the tools needed to find and hire outstanding talent.
