Best of an Indeterminate Breed, 2006-07-15
I have assigned this book to my graduate students in a Staffing class. I would not have assigned it if I did not think it was a good book.
However, I find myself telling them a few cautionary things:
1. Two weeks after the book came out, it was out of date. This field is moving very, very quickly and keeping up is a real chore...
2. The author is breathless and shameless in self-promotion. His writing style will remind you of why the dot-com bubble burst.
3. Many assertions are not backed up with organized study or proof.
4. It's still the best book I know of to cover this topic, unfortunately. If anybody out there knows of a better or more contemporary one, please post a review here...

Full cycle web recruiter, 2005-02-03
"Recruiting on the Web" is a book that should be in all small and medium size businesses Human Resources or Recruiting departments. The book should be chained to the HRIS department network manager's desk. Also recruiter and HR staff will find the techniques and the mythology outlined within the book very value. Especially if their company is conducting talent acquisition the way it was done in the 20th Century. New technology in recruiting requires new methods of talent sourcing. The active and passives candidate can be found easy today if all of the old methods are improved with today's fast paced technology and updated searching techniques. Please follow as much of the Web recruiting techniques as possible.

This is the definitive book on e-recruiting, 2003-12-02
This is a great, well organized book. It takes you through e-recruitment top to bottom, from setting up an online employee network, to building your Website, working with job boards, and then to Flipping and X-raying sites to find passiove candidates.I've been a recruiter and manager since 1994 and have been through every Web-recruiting class and book ever offered. AIRS was the first (I went through AIRS I and II in 1998) and is still by far the best training in this field. I read this book when it was published last year and have just purchased a dozen more for new recruiters we plan to hire soon. It is the most systematic, comprehensive "how to" guide for e-recruiting I've found.
