The Cadence Group
"How to Hire Without Regret," October 2007
The winning article, which appeared in the October 2007 issue of Information Outlook, was co-authored by Julie Schein, vice president, and Belinda DeLisser, recruiting director, at the Cadence Group, based in Atlanta, GA. The article, "How to Hire Without Regret," was a best-practice overview for hiring for any position in a special library. It touched on all the steps in the hiring process, but the focus was on interviewing and preparation for interviewing. The article underscored how hiring the right person for the job is crucial to the operation of a library. Bad hiring decisions can be costly in terms of negative impact on morale and management's time as well as reduced productivity and the potential for litigation if a decision is challenged as discriminatory or in violation of federal or state regulations. The article was written for the 2007 SLA Contributed Papers program
