No extraneous information, just what the too-busy staffing professional needs to build and maintain a highly credible, measurable and efficient recruiting program...

Effective recruiting is just as important for small and mid-size companies as it is for large companies. But there are unique problems: smaller department staffs that must develop expertise in many areas; smaller recruiting budgets; underdeveloped measurement processes; and effective communication with senior managers who may be unfamiliar with professional staffing metrics.

Practical

• Focused on core recruiting metrics
• Explains how to build good programs, not just how to measure
• Provides basic forms and templates
• Directly links recruiting measurements to business priorities
• Defines the critical contract between the recruiter and the hiring manager 

This abridged version of our 2008 Recruiting Metrics and Performance Benchmark Report, is specifically designed for these situations. Concise chapters focused on key fundamentals: what to measure, how to measure, key trends, and how to partner with senior managers. Effective partnering to establish credibility and buy-in from non-HR managers is especially important here because it capitalizes on a unique advantage of smaller enterprises - closer proximity and easier personal access to top management.
