Recommendation

The old-fashioned headhunter you used to call on to bring in a quick hire is completely out of date and this book will help you understand why. Author Joseph Daniel McCool is a highly regarded journalist who has written about and lectured widely on executive search. While offering great information about search consultants, he also shows you the importance of creating your own internal processes for grooming candidates. He advocates establishing “onboarding” programs to create a foundation for new hires. McCool writes clearly and invitingly. He persuasively describes the real value companies can derive from using executive search services productively. getAbstract recommends this book to anyone involved in executive searches.

Summary

Search the World for Talent

You want to locate and hire men and women who can motivate your people and optimize your processes. Like much else in business, the competitive market for top executives has gone global, so your search should have a worldwide reach.
