A treasure chest of great information on how to recruit and keep the best employees. Not your standard recruiting book. It's a real help for anyone wanting to succeed at building a strong and effective staff by bringing in good people and treating them right. Strongly recommended.

For a corporate recruiter and trainer, I found this book to be very helpful in bringing people to my employer and then keeping them there. Lots of good stuff on why applicants and employees do what they do. Any easy read and good reference.

This is the first book we've used that pointed out how strongly recruiting and retention are tied together. They both affect the other in an unbroken process. We now use this book as our main plan for hiring and retaining our employees. The principles set out by the author are absolutely accurate. They are based on experience and common sense and fit perfectly with how we want to see our business grow and prosper.

Bookforce recommends this book as the most complete book available on finding, hiring, and keeping good employees. The point is well made that all this is one continuous process. Poor recruiting and orientation adversely affects your retention to a dramatic degree, and high turnover can hurt recruiting. Dr. Ford shows how to build and run a program which encompasses the entire program needed to accomplish these multiple goals. He points out how this type of program directly impacts the bottom line, and increases the effectiveness of marketing and operations efforts. It is easy to read and understand while covering a sophisticated subject. Some readers may want the book as a reference, while others will use it a a blueprint to enhance their entire personnel and training system.
