Waste of time and money, 2008-01-22
Completely disappointed. Don't waste your money. If Corporate HR Departments are reading this it would explain their approach to hiring.

4-7 catagories for recruiting success, 2007-12-10
This book has useful information, though it does seem like someone experienced in recruiting would find it basic. I was a little disappointed that there aren't really 101 strategies as the title suggests. Right away, "strategy 1: what is a recruiter?" made me critical of the title.
Though the book makes good points, probably only about 30 of the strategies would be considered such. The rest are commentary and information. The author stresses being creative and "thinking out of the box" in numerous 'strategies.'

The book is a good source to learn the basics of recruiting, or to give someone ideas on how to improve their recruiting department, but I agree that the title is misleading.

101 Strategies for Recruiting Success, 2007-07-18
It's an extremely scary thought but many Human Resource professionals aren't even trained in HR. They are simply people whose jobs have been downsized and the company had no where else to put them. How can these people possibly find the right people for the right job?

101 Strategies for Recruiting Success is a one of a kind resource that provides a solution for recruiting woos. The book is packed full of very specific ways to find qualified potential employees and how to match these individuals to their dream job. These strategies are presented in a very intuitive fashion to help the beginner learn the basics and build from there. The invaluable material contained in these sections is presented in a clear and meticulous way that can easily be integrated into real business hiring decisions.

Not impressed, 2007-06-24
The information on this book is very basic. It may be useful to a college grad looking to get a start in recruiting or to entry level employees. Some of the information in this book is common sense. If you have been recruiting for a few years, this not the book for you.

An Invaluable Resource That Got Me Started In The Biz..., 2007-04-06
I could not disagree more with the short and pointless critique above. This book covers many facets of the business and is incredibly helpful both to rookie headhunters in the trenches (like myself) as well as to corporate HR departments. It's a double edged sword of course because the more corporate HR leaders read this and follow it's wisdom, the less they will need headhunters like myself but that's because it is excellent advice and you can't fault that. The individual who made the snarky remark above about planning your day and not liking the general advice that this book offers needs to understand that recruiters are their own bosses and the way to run your desk is to plan out each day to a T and to understand how to prioritize based on what your employers needs are as well as your own. It's not that complicated but is incredibly important!

In short, someone who takes the time to read the book and apply it's teachings will find themselves as I did in a position to find the right people everytime through creativity, perseverance and true honest to goodness work (rather than relying on the job boards and other "low-hanging fruit" that keeps corporate america forever looking for trained individuals like myself to find the people they need).

Good luck to all my peers out there and take the time to study this book!!
