Patrick Ropella’s The Right Hire provides, for an extremely sensitive subject and potentially costly area of corporate life, a light, easy-to-understand, and hugely helpful system for how to do it right the first time.  This book should be standard curriculum for all managers and executive committees.

With over 30 years of experience in C-suite executive recruiting across industries, I would recommend this book to any organization serious about finding and hiring the best talent in the market. The Right Hire presents penetrating insights into the recruiting process along with practical tools to drive recruiting to the next level to build the best team in the business, whatever your business may be.

“Physician heal thyself.”  This biblical mandate was never more true than today.  The biggest healthcare initiative in our country’s history is underway, but it is woefully mismanaged on many levels. Patrick Ropella’s current book, The Right Hire gives us proven principles and focused strategies to identify, attract, motivate and measure talent in any field, but especially where it is needed most - the muscle-bound world of managing the deliverance and effectiveness of healthcare and wellness. If you need relief fast, read and put into practice what’s in this book.

Gerry Roche,
SR. Chairman, Heidrick & Struggles

Patrick possess an extraordinary ability to bring structure and systems to concepts. This is exactly what he has done in this book by providing a blueprint for any talent acquisition team. People are the most precious resource of any organization. The Right Hire provides a system that will maximize any team’s ability to not only identify and screen the ideal talent but also to attract and retain them. There are immediately implementable best practices as well a clear and easy to follow system to win in the ongoing marketplace battle for the best and brightest!

After a career spanning more than 38 years in executive search and consulting, I can say without reservation, that Patrick Popella’s, The Right Hire is without doubt the best publication I have read on the important subject of developing and executing an effective and successful staffing process. From the easy to follow layout of the book to the support graphics; from his down to earth writing style to the realistic and practical techniques and strategies Patrick presents in every chapter, this book is a must read for every company executive, HR manager or recruiter who is serious about getting it right the first time, every time. Perhaps the most significant feature of this book is how the author places the reader right in the middle of ‘Smart Talent Management’ through his artful use of questions. You don’t just read this book, you experience it and it is an experience I highly recommend. This author and publication have my highest endorsement for applicable information and implementable process content.

Pat has crafted a magnificent and powerful approach to the #1 challenge of any progressive, growth-oriented business: attracting, selecting, and on-boarding top talent.  His strategy, tactics, and tools brilliantly guide us on the journey to finding and retaining today’s best people.  I only wish he’d written this 25 years ago when I began my career - it would have saved me hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars in my recruiting efforts and mistakes.

Dr. Jim Harris,
Co-Author, Finding and Keeping Great Employees, a Fortune magazine Best Business Book. To a Higher Level

Pretty well every successful business leader speaks to the value of the human capital in their organizations. It is startling then that there has never been a truly comprehensive business book on how to go about the process of hiring. Pat Ropella is filling a big void with The Right Hire – a must have handbook for effective hiring.
