Ere.net contributor Lou Adler wrote a blog post today about how recruiting strategies should focus on avoiding or reducing hires of what he calls the "least-best" candidates to maxime profit potential. The post goes into how recruiters can source, recruit, and assess the "best" candidates, who should comprise the top-third of your company. You can read the article here.

What do you think about his argument? Is spending the time and resources to implement a new hiring strategy as cost-effective as Lou suggests?
