First, to be fair, this book is from 1999.So the fact that recruiting sites like monster.com aren't even mentioned can be blamed on the cruelties of time.But the rest of this books (many) limitations are harder to forgive.The entire back half of the book consists of descriptions of a number of foreign markets that are on the level of a 5th grade research project: lots of data, most of which is irrelevant, and a few tiny cultural references.
The front half of the book is very pedestrian- I didn't see anything that isn't in any basic 'how-to' of recruiting, much less any "Secrets" of the "Experts".Since the people credited as the authors are from big-name companies I would guess that they had their underlings cobble together some bits & pieces from corporate publications, industry journals, etc. into a book.
Save your money.
