Publisher's Summary

Vital and impactful strategies on how to spot, assess, woo and retain highly talented people. Find the people really capable of making a difference!

How do you find talent with a creative spark? To what extent can you predict human creativity, or is human creativity something irreducible before our eyes, perhaps to be spotted or glimpsed by intuition, but unique each time it appears?

The art and science of talent search get at exactly those questions. Renowned economist Tyler Cowen and venture capitalist and entrepreneur Daniel Gross guide the listener through the major scientific research areas relevant for talent search, including how to conduct an interview, how much to weight intelligence, how to judge personality and match personality traits to jobs, how to evaluate talent in on-line interactions such as Zoom calls, why talented women are still undervalued and how to spot them, how to understand the special talents in people who have disabilities or supposed disabilities and how to use delegated scouts to find talent.

Identifying underrated, brilliant individuals is one of the simplest ways to give yourself an organisational edge, and this is the audiobook that will show you how to do that. It is both for people searching for talent, and for those being searched and wish to understand how to better stand out.

Expanded my views on sourcing talent

The authors provide a great series of perspectives on sourcing, high grading and persuading talent to join your organization. Worth the time if one of things you wonder is how we will really find the right person for the roles in your organization.

The capstone for me was the conversation between the authors at the end of the book.
