"A long awaited new wave of ideas and significant contribution to Recruitment and Selection."
Vijay Kumar Thambimuthu, Qualifications and Assessments International, (QAI) U.K.

"Throughout the book, the authors never lose sight of the big picture that people are the greatest assets for any organization, and identifying, attracting and hiring them is the biggest challenge that confronts businesses worldwide. I have been pleasantly surprised with the eye-to-detail on part of the authors. The content is not only comprehensive but very relevant and contemporary. The readers of this book would be indeed enriched.
An excellent resource and a must read for all practitioners and academics interested in garnering the most from strategic recruitment and selection. The Handbook of Strategic Recruitment and Selection: A Systems Approach isn't just a good book - it's THE RIGHT BOOK!"
