Great Book For Human Resource Basics,
By
This review is from: Human Resource Essentials: Your Guide to Starting and Running the HR Function (Paperback)
This is a great book for anyone starting out in Human Resources or someone that runs their own small business. I use this book with my company Laurel Placement to help with basic and more in depth behavioral interviews it spells out what to ask and what NOT to ask to protect yourself or your company. It also has some great basic forms and checklists, and How-to's that cover a vast amount of the HR function.
