How to find and recruit employees

Poor Richard's Internet Recruiting is a cornucopia of "tips, tricks & techniques" for business managers to find and recruit employees utilizing the resources of the Internet. Readers will learn how to effectively participate in Internet forums; peruse industry niche websites; maintain an employment section on their own corporate website; post jobs at state and city job banks; search college and universities for employable talent; and much more. Poor Richard's Internet Recruiting is an essential, "user friendly", comprehensive, single volume "how to" course that will enable even the most novice company personnel officer to enhance their recruiting performance and the quality of their corporate workforce.

Very good overview and primer

Very well written. It provides a comprehensive overview of the major changes that have occurred in the last five years in the recruiting industry. Ling's style is easy to read and will make sense to the non-geeks out there. My copy is already dogeared and highlighted and will be required reading for our department managers.

Appeals to a broad audience

I am a seasoned strategic internet sourcer who has been online for over four years. I found this primer to be quite informative because it reminded me of many advanced searching and sourcing techniques that are quite useful and not well-known. This book has broad appeal because it can be read by both novices and experieced professionals who rely on the internet to market and grow their businesses. Poor Richard's Internet Recruiting addresses the key topics that are presented in many of the top internet recruiting seminars.Lisa Fraimow, Strategic Internet Consultant

WOW! Incredibly helpful

Very comprehensive book addressing the sourcing of resumes as well as furthering the relationship with candidates. I found chapters 10 through 13 especially helpful with boolean search examples (using search engines) and directions on how to "drill down" on the target industry or niche.

Essential information for both recruiters and employers.

I found this book to be packed with tricks and techniques from which even the experienced Internet recruiter can learn. Definitely a must-have for a recruiter or business-owner's bookshelf. The section on writing a job post that gets results was particularly noteworthy.
