This is a theory-based text with unique features that distinguish it from other books in the field. The inclusion of a strategic component differentiates it from most other books, but the application of systems theory to recruitment and selection sets this book apart. While it includes mainstream topics such as interviews, job analysis and question types, it is the first text to introduce topics such as crowd sourcing, social networking, Skype and distance interviewing. The inclusion of theory such as similarity/attraction theory, insider/outsider theory, cultural appreciation, body language and interview types for different levels within organisations assist in differentiating this text. It is up to date and addresses issues such as the role of staffing, recruitment and selection in a knowledge-based society. This text also looks at resume preparation and analysis, and explores the challenges facing international applicants seeking employment in other countries.

Reviews for Handbook of Strategic Recruitment and Selection: A Systems Approach
This book captures the essence of attracting and hiring a productive workforce. It presents conceptually strong arguments for effectively incorporating hiring in strategic formulations with excellent embellishments in an easy-to-read fashion - comprising excellent cases and analogies. The content has been eagerly researched and documented, and contains practical advice not only for academia but also for any professional who is concerned with attracting and hiring the best human capital. 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!
