The Recruiting Animal Award Winner 2008 for Best Book!

It's coming: as early as 2010, the baby boomers will start retiring en masse, and employers large and small will be facing a nationwide "brain drain."

Will you be ready?

The time to address your hiring issues is now. Many of the best practices for recruitment and retention aren't complicated―it's all just a matter of setting priorities and following a concrete process that will avoid poor hiring decisions and increased turnover.

Success For Hire provides such a process. You'll learn from experts who have discovered what works and what doesn't, and you can benefit from case studies about companies who have successfully transformed their hiring processes.

With these practical tools and cutting-edge strategies to guide you, you can eliminate guesswork from the hiring process. Your organization can minimize the "turnover treadmill" and be solidly competitive when others are scrambling to find talent.
