[Aj · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was incredibly helpful and informative about recruitment beyond the obvious information you can gather from a talent acquisition worker. It’s particularly useful for someone like me trying to break into the industry and secure a role. The book also provides valuable insights on how to “survive” and “thrive” in the field. It emphasises the importance of consistency and taking action on everything you said in your interview pitch to validate your worth during your initial months. This helps you stand out from the competition and become the “best of the worst.” Additionally, the book shares industry tricks and trades that I hadn’t learned elsewhere, such as how to reach decision-makers and email templates to reduce administrative tasks and allow you to focus on your sales.

Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to get into recruitment or those who have secured their first trainee recruitment position.

[Gerzo Moya · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good high level intro to recruitment with a heavy focus on old but very valuable tactics that can help you succeed. Some chapters more relevant than others depending on where you are professionally.

Pro tips for recruitment, but also so much more

I got this book to explore other careers, and I was impressed with the writing, tone and information inside. Though I’m not sure I’m interested in this particular career path, the tips in the second half of the book, especially with tactics for telephone calls and reaching decision-makers at different companies are valuable for many industries. I’d recommend this book for many professions or anyone looking to get into recruitment.
