Put this on the desk of new HR people

When your new HR folks report to work, this is one of the books to have sitting on their desks. A good reference. As the title says, this is a book for employers, not external recruiters. I would recommend it for internal use.Wayne D. Ford, Ph.D., author, "Breakthrough Technical Recruiting" docwifford@msn.com

Great book for the reluctant HR professional

Every field of study needs an "introductory text", a book which clearly lays out all the basics of the field in a clear concise manner. This book is that text. It not only fully describes the field of Internet Recruiting, it is written in a funny, engaging manner, that will keep the attention of my reluctant HR staff. That is why I give it 5 stars. It is what it says it is: A guide for Employer's about recruiting on the Internet. I echo the words of the individual from LA. If you what advanced sourcing strategies then take a course from Tiburon or AIRS. But if you want to bring your HR staff up to the level needed to take these advanced classes, then have them read this book. I would also recommend that as a companion to this book you also purchase Careerxroads by Grispin and Mehler. Both books together make an excellent starting point to fully understanding the Internet Recruiting Marketplace.

Employers Can Call The Shots With This Book!

     In recent years the Internet has been put to effective use to provide many employment opportunities. A number of Websites have already been set up to offer job listings, leads, resume data banks, and other helpful employment information. Until now very little has been publicized about employers finding job candidates online. Ray Schreyer and John McCarter have written The Employer's Guide to Recruiting on the Internet to offer employers the information they need to successfully find the employees they need online.     This is a dynamic book! Readers are asked to "get their feet wet" by becoming familiar with the online job searching community. Some of the most popular Website employment services are reviewed to acquaint readers with online reality. Before employers can effectively market themselves they need to know about the people they want to reach and how best to reach them. The authors of this book will equip employers with the basic knowledge they need to find their way around online. According to the authors many are in need of gaining this experience.     The authors describe in vivid detail on how to create powerful online job ads that are of professional quality. Included in the book are a number of top-notch examples of job ads designed to communicate job descriptions, job qualifications, employment packages (salary, benefits, etc.) and information about the companies who seek employees. These examples provide more detail than the average newspaper ad. After reading this book employers will be able to create impressive job ads that are custom-tailored to their own specific circumstances. This is one of the highlights of the book!     Other features of the book include effective online advertising options, finding and using online services, managing results, processing resumes, case studies, online resources, and the benefits of using Websites rather than more traditional means. Additionally, tips are provided throughout the book to offer helpful and timely advice.
