3.0 out of 5 stars Not impressed, June 24, 2007

By	C. Leyva (NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars A view from 50,000 feet, March 15, 2007

By	KayJay "kj" (Florida) - See all my reviews

If you are looking for a how-to book with tricks and tips of the trade, this is not the book for you. ie., "Strategy 97- Plan Your Day" ... We all know we need to plan our day; however, if the book attempted to explain how to effectively plan a recruiter's day, there would be some benefit to that! Mostly general advice is provided.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of time and money, January 22, 2008

By	Disappointed (Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews

Completely disappointed. Don't waste your money. If Corporate HR Departments are reading this it would explain their approach to hiring.
