Recruiting Excellence
Jeff Grout and Sarah Perrin
McGraw-Hill £10.99
A denser handbook, Recruiting Excellence is targeted at HR professionals and is split into three sections: the employment market, practical recruiting procedures and the ramifications once a selection has been made. The tone is wordier, with more academic discussion on HR hot topics such as 'the war for talent'.
A very good book for people in bigger organisations looking for thoughtful instruction.
