A very informative book that taught me different components of the hiring process and the strategies used within companies. I will probably keep this book as it will be quite useful in my career.

I literally read this entire textbook yesterday so I’m putting it on here, damn it.

(For those of you interested in Industrial/Organizational Psych textbooks, this is a great one on selection. For those of you not, ignore this.)

HR 5823-001: Talented People Acquisition

This has to be one of the better HR textbooks I have read thus far. Phillips explores how to view talent acquisition through a strategic lens that values the workforce as an organization's primary competitive advantage. I appreciated the use of many helpful case studies and practical examples included in the fourth edition.

I had to read this one quickly, and I wasn't mad about it! I have no doubt that I will be referring to this text in the future.

A lot of really solid, useful information for future HR professionals. I especially felt the case studies were interesting and taught me a lot.

I'm finally FREEEEE

[Jeffrey · Rating 3 out of 5]

There is a lot of good information in this textbook. However, it is incredibly dense for an undergraduate textbook, highly repetitive in places, and not particularly engaging. Could be improved with more useful graphics and figures, right now it is a dry wall of text.

Supplemental material for instructors is a welcome addition but heavily flawed. For example, many of the supplied questions the given answers are wrong. They are also full of typos.
