Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Both job seekers and university search committees will gain valuable insights from this report on the state of hiring in higher education. Describing successful searches, this book tries to help readers understand the realities and problems involved and improve the costly, time-consuming, and nerve-racking process. Using humorous anecdotes from personal experience, Stein, a university vice president, and Trachtenberg, a university president, document ways to locate and attract the best candidates. Each of 11 chapters is written by a different contributor. The chapters cover the role of the president and the dean; the cost of hiring; the challenge of working with spouses and hiring women and minorities; and whether to use headhunters in the hiring process. A list of references follows each chapter for additional information. This unique work is essential for all academic libraries.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Unintelligible, disorganized, virtually useless,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of Hiring in America's Colleges & Universities (Frontiers of Education) (Hardcover)
This book is incredibly poor. It misses the point almost entirely. Quite frankly, the authors/editors are not qualified to discuss this highly important subject. Their inadequacies are visible throughout. They do not understand the laws. They give short shrift to the moral dimension. And to be blunt, they are terribly poor writers. Avoid this at all costs
