Staffing the Contemporary Organization: A Guide to Planning, Recruiting and Selecting for Human Resource Professionals » (3rd Edition)

Get it wrong, and the business pays dearly in reduced sales, profits, and productivity. Staffing provides a comprehensive treatment of staffing procedures, policies, techniques, and problems. It includes a number of human resources topics not usually covered in one volume—HR planning, legal aspects of staffing, recruiting, selecting, performance appraisal, career development, and many others—in an integrated system. The method presented is a proven, useful tool that managers and HR people can use to build stronger, more resilient organizations.
