Customer Reviews

In this book I Found a Keeper
Everyone who is hiring will benefit from Finding Keepers. In my three decades of involvement with employment selection, I must admit that following their process of being customer-focused instead of focusing on our on interests is not easy. However, I am convinced that if you want the best talent, you must follow their AAA formula: Attracting,Aquiring, Advancing. This book helps you change the way you are look at your role as a recruiter. They take a meticulous boring process and make it a lot of fun! They inspire us to get our arms around what I call the "massive passive market"(70% of the workforce) and make them want to come to work for us!
