The Incomplete Guide or Recruiting Made More Confusing,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Technical Recruiting (Ring-bound)
This is not a guide but more of an attempt to make something like recruiting seem like neuosurgery. I disliked the book for many reasons. The book talked about being thorough and complete, yet the book has numerous typographical errors from start to finish. Hardly thorough. The book seems to be aimed at agency, and executive search firm recruiting, and disregards corporate and consulting recruiting. Again, hardly thorough. I particularly found the "closing methods" used in the book, distasteful, hard sell, and "slam it against the wall to see if it sticks" type of mentality, similar to the used car salesman tactics of yesteryear. Hardly professional in this day and age. It taught the recruiter to be more like the negative connotations associated with the old terms that hurt our industry. "Headhunter" immediately comes to mind. It emphasizes the recruiter putting deals together and making placements, rather than conducting professional indepth interviews of the candidate to find hot buttons and professionally matching their needs and wants with current requisitions. At the risk of sounding redundant, not very thorough or complete. Articulation certainly isn't this author's forte. If I wasn't already a seasoned recruiter, I would be on the wrong foot and literally guided into oblivion. A waste of paper, and especially my time. Save your money!

Outstanding guide for a newbie,

This review is from: The Complete Guide to Technical Recruiting (Ring-bound)
I bought this book after comming out of the military and entering into the recuriting field. I found it to be a very helpful, and I use it on a daily basis, particularily the check lists enclosed. I believe that the methods to prepare candidates for face to face interviews are outstanding, however it would be benificial if there was a telephone interview preparation sheet. Additionally, a section on overcomming objections would be useful, however this is not a sales book, it is a book to help you create and manage the process of recruiting. As far as the typos go, who cares? Pay attention to the content delivered, and not the author's ability to type. He is teaching recruiting, not English. Like any other guide on how to do anything, this is based on the author's opinions and his experience. It should be used in conjuncture with other materials to form your own style and methods.

Sadly, a waste of money,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Technical Recruiting (Ring-bound)
Far from being a complete guide, this book is a narrow, incomplete collection of old ideas and outdated techniques. If you tried any of this stuff, you would be lost in the dust. Also, it's so full of typos and poor grammar, it would not pass a simple English test.
