I was looking for a book that would help make a dynamic hire...and this wasn't it. The information provided is geared at a start-up business person and is very general. More bothersome is the near constant mention of TAB (the authors franchise business "The Alternative Board"). It is mentioned so many times, it frankly became annoying and started sounding like an ad for the TAB franchisor. If you are a start-up, this might have some infomration, but if you are looking for some meatier material, look past this one.

"How Small Business Captures Talent really got my management team excited about recruiting. Ray Brun has helped us all understand how we need to be proactive and make recruiting everyone's job. Ray has helped my team to realize that employees as well as clients are equally important when you are building a business."

Wow, this read is right to the point, deals with the small business' most important resource.

Highly recommended.

As a Management Consultant and Executive Coach I advice business owners in the selection of key employees. Ray's 164 strategies so simply explained in his book are excellent guidelines for my clinets and I. I highly recommend this easy to read book for all those who need to attract the best talent (and who doesn't?)

Ray has captured his vast experience working with business owners into an easy to read and highly practical strategies about attracting and retaining talent for your company. As a business owner, one of the most challenging responsibilities is finding, selecting, hiring, and retaining the right talent for your company. "Getting the right people on the bus" is the foundation for results. This straight forward book is packed with performance proven approaches that will help you get the best fit for your company even in the toughest of job markets. For the price of a couple lattes, this is a real value to a business owner... what are you waiting for?

This book is simple, to the point and use full.
Great creative ideas on recruiting talent that can be put to use immediately.

"This book is excellent and is good reading. Having done a lot of recruiting myself, I think every business owner, large or small should be told to read it and to stress the importance of top management's participation in the recruiting process. I find this book educational, informative and well thought out. I learned a great deal and believe the principles discussed here could apply to product sales as well as recruiting!"
