 Put this on the desk of new HR people Oct 06, 2000
When your new HR folks report to work, this is one of the books to have sitting on their desks. A good reference. As the title says, this is a book for employers, not external recruiters. I would recommend it for internal use.Wayne D. Ford, Ph.D., author, "Breakthrough Technical Recruiting" docwifford@msn.com

 Beginners Jan 31, 2000
A lot of USEFUL INFO for a beginner or Junior level HR and Recruiting professional.... like the URL's of career websites and HR organisations but no indepth information for seasoned Recruiters.

Great book for the reluctant HR professional Jan 16, 1999
Every field of study needs an "introductory text", a book which clearly lays out all the basics of the field in a clear concise manner. This book is that text. It not only fully describes the field of Internet Recruiting, it is written in a funny, engaging manner, that will keep the attention of my reluctant HR staff. That is why I give it 5 stars. It is what it says it is: A guide for Employer's about recruiting on the Internet. I echo the words of the individual from LA. If you what advanced sourcing strategies then take a course from Tiburon or AIRS. But if you want to bring your HR staff up to the level needed to take these advanced classes, then have them read this book. I would also recommend that as a companion to this book you also purchase Careerxroads by Grispin and Mehler. Both books together make an excellent starting point to fully understanding the Internet Recruiting Marketplace.

This is for HR but not technical recruiters Dec 31, 1998
Like the person from Malibu, I found this book to be extremely helpful for a Human Resources professional who is new to the internet. However, if you are already savvy with internet search engines, seeking candidates on the usenet and utilizing the multitude of internet resources, this book is not for you. If you are looking for advanced candidate resourcing strategies, take a class from AIRS or Tiburon Consulting. Overall, it didn't serve my purposes but, speaking from personal experience, this book is sorely need by many HR professionals and it could help them immensely.
 Fair Dec 29, 1998
Although I found some of the content interesting and worthwhile, I did not find it that it helped me enough in my day-to-day needs as a recruiter.
