Summary: Awesome Beginner's Guide to Recruiting
Review: I found this book to be very well written and easy to understand. I'm a stay at home mom who was looking for home based business opportunities. This book provided me with all of the pertinent information I needed to start my home-based business. I now make a decent living working from home as a recruiter, and get to enjoy my two small children at the same time. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is looking to start a home-based business.

Summary: Bring it to your next book burning party
Review: I only have two wishes. One is that I could get my money back, the other is that I could put a rating of zero. If the author was looking for filler, she could have referenced any of the 10,000 business plan/startup books available. Instead she put blank notes pages at the end of every 5 page, useless chapter. I am new to this industry and even I feel less knowledgeable having read this ...

Summary: Don't waste your money!
Review: Terrible. It was absolutely terrible. I'm ashamed of myself for having wasted the money -- especially since I read some of the other reviews warning me not to do so. I agree with the reviewers who wrote he felt scammed and the other who said you'd be better off buying your own blank note book and filling it in yourself.

Summary: Incomplete Guide Written for Self Promotion- Save Your Money
Review: This is the first time I've read a book when it was obvious to me its only purpose was that the author could say she authored something.It is so over-simplified and incomplete that my hunch is the author tried to write an article about starting a recruiting business and nobody wanted to publish it (even for free on the Net) so she decided to publish the information in a book.
Other "reviewers" must be friends of the author ' I'm baffled by their reviews and can see no reason why anyone would say anything good about this book ' it was written for shameless self-promotion. This incomplete, tiny, guide filled with sunshine and roses, paints a completely unrealistic picture about becoming a recruiter. (In her world new clients are always happy to hear from you and finding qualified candidates is a snap ' she gives no practical advice on how to find new clients.) The entire book took 25 minutes to read. It contains about 60 pages of information (written in large font with plenty of white space) but includes an insulting 40 blank pages entitled "Notes" (just in case you missed something!) and endless pages of worthless Internet links she included to fatten it up. She omits standard industry resources Essential to new recruiters - either because she doesn't know or doesn't want you to know. I can't imagine that this author is stable because no one in their right mind would think of this as a complete guide, or any kind of guide to starting a recruiter business. Chapter 1 consists of 5 pages of written words + 4 blank 'note' pages ' this pattern continues throughout the book.
It's the worst, cheesiest, business book I've ever bought. No matter how desperate you are for the information, please don't waste your money or you'll end up like me - feeling scammed and knowing all about the author's company. Better information is available free on the Net. Lastly, it should be noted that this person is not a recruiter. She is a recruitment researcher, which means she helps executive recruiters find candidates ' and has likely received some recruiter assignments as an extension of her research service. This is important to note because finding candidates is so difficult that recruiters hire executive researchers to find candidates; an extremely expensive service. However, she includes no practical information on how to find candidates; everything is happy in her book.
