Expert Diane Arthur discusses: * Both traditional and new strategies, including a huge array of special incentives and perks * Online recruiting via sites like Monster.com or a company's own Web site * Successful programs from Cisco Systems, Bank of Boston, Eli Lilly, McDonald's, and dozens of other companies, including many small firms * Competency-based recruiting and interviewing, contingent workers, telecommuting and other alternative work arrangements, future trends, and more.

But here at last is a comprehensive, practical guide to all facets of preemployment and employment testing, designed to answer every question that you have.Written by an expert in human resources management, Workplace Testing delivers a complete overview of the various types of tests available to employers today: drug and alcohol testing; psychological testing; personality testing; integrity or honesty testing; and physical testing, including AIDS and genetic tests.
