Summary

The Art & Science of In-House Recruiting is a comprehensive treatise on recruiting. The scope of the book spans theoretical exposition of the most fundamental aspects of employee-driven competitiveness and step-by-step details of recruiting. To win competitive superiority among peers a corporation must pay attention to two critical factors'”employees and its expenses. In any corporation employees can either be its most important resource or its greatest liability. The workforce in a corporation however is not a static mass; it is always in a dynamic flux with attritions being constantly replaced with new hires. This offers an opportunity for even the most mediocre companies to achieve excellence over time through a focused effort in recruiting. In The Art & Science of Recruiting, the author argues convincingly that if a company considers its employees to be at the center of its core competency, it must not job out its recruitment function to headhunters. The only way to build excellence through employees is by making recruiting an in-house function. The author shows, drawing from her own experience, how in-house recruiting can be achieved at a fraction of headhunter fee and yet provide superior results.
