I found this book interesting because a good recruiter once changed the direction of my life by convincing me to take a courageous step and change careers. He helped get me started by tutoring me before the interview with the company. That is when I entered the world of information technology. I never looked back and I remain ever thankful to the recruiter who changed my life.Now I am often in a position to hire people directly. “The Ultimate Guide To Recruiting: Next Generation Interviewing And The Recruitment Success Formula” by Christopher Johnsen has been a tremendous help to me. It has taught me how to recruit for the company I now work for, teaching me the full set of skills used by professional recruiters. There can be nothing worse than being responsible for hiring the wrong person for a position. It is bad for everyone; the company, the recruiter and the employee that eventually has to be let go. This book taught me how to avoid all the common mistakes that recruiters make and how to find the perfect match for the position.Although this book is geared for the professional recruiter or someone who is building a recruiting business, I recommend it for anyone involved in hiring or placing job candidates.
