Product Description
Heneman and Judge’s Staffing, 5th Edition, is based on a comprehensive staffing model. Components of the model include staffing models and strategy, staffing support systems (legal compliance, planning, job analysis and rewards), core staffing systems (recruitment, selection, employment), and staffing system and retention management. Up-to-date research and business practices are the hallmarks of this market leading text. In-depth applications (cases and exercises) at the end of chapters provide students with skill-building and practice in key staffing activities and decision-making. A comprehensive running case involving a fictitious retailing organization provides even greater opportunity for in-depth analysis and skill building. Students also have the opportunity to address ethical issues at the end of each chapter.

3 out of 5 starsStudent opinion, 2007-04-18
I am currently reading this book for a class. The class consensus is that is has useful information but it is written in a research manner vs. a teaching/learning manner. This makes it an extremely dry and boring read much of the time. The chapter on measurements was excrutiating to read and retain. It is definately written with larger corporations in mind. As useful as the information in this book is, it is written in a manner that is not as conducive to student learning in my opinion. I think that this book could be much better than it is.

5 out of 5 starsStaffing Organizations, 2007-02-13
This is a required book that I had to purchase for one of my HR classes. In fact the name of the class was Staffing Organizations. The book is very easy to read and has alot of useful information. Great for recruiters.

3 out of 5 starsGreat Concept but Outdated, 2004-10-08
This is the book I've assigned to graduate HR Management students studying staffing. It does the job, but needs more than just a cosmetic overhaul - which is what happened between the former edition and this one.

Staffing remains the most strategically influential activity HR professionals can perform, and yet this book says so little about:

o Organizational strategy
o Web-based recruitment
o Internet-based interviewing and screening technique
o Interactive engines for applying for jobs, e.g., Wal-Mart

Its min-case studies are OK, but, again, so outdated.

Make this book as good as it used to be, Dr. Heneman!!

5 out of 5 starsAn in-depth exploration of the Staffing function, 2004-01-29
I personally loved this book. Its content is enriched with a wealth of professional and practical theory about corporate staffing strategies and systems. The Staffing Organizations Model that shapes the structure of this text is considered a profound, intergrated, and coherent framework for the dynamic realm of staffing. The model's flow is logical, commencing from legal compliance and job analysis and concluding with employee retention management. The book helped me develop a sound conceptual map of what Staffing is, what it includes, and how its sub-systems interrelate. I recommend this book to all people who are interested or work in the Staffing field.

5 out of 5 starsA Solid Human Resources Recruitment and Staffing Guide, 2003-11-24
As a human resources professional and a graduate student at Troy State University, I found this text to be very insightful in all aspects of researching, designing, planning, and implementing various internal and external staffing strategies, policies, procedures, and practices. This text is definitely an invaluable reference book that should be a part of any human resources professional's library.
