The Recruiter's Handbook provides comprehensive, step-by-step guidelines through the complete recruiting process—from employer branding and the new employee lifecycle to the candidate experience and the changing legal landscape. Written by HR Bartender's Sharlyn Lauby, SHRM-SCP, with insights, tips, and tools from dozens of HR, recruiting, and business experts, the Handbook delivers a proven roadmap to not only help shorten learning curves and avoid legal pitfalls, but build trust in new hire relationships. Along the way it shows how to drive cultural change by raising awareness of your organization's Talent Acquisitions function, offers guidelines for veteran, disabled, or ex-offender recruiting efforts, how to build strong apprenticeship, mentoring, or internship programs, how to effectively conduct assessments, reference checks, and background checks, and much more.
