In only 224 pages Fyock effectively uses 53 ‘Truths’ to challenge many of HR’s long-standing assumptions and practices related to recruitment and selection. With everyone wanting to ‘hire the best,’ this quick read has a high ROI.” Michael R. Losey, SPHR, CAE, Former CEO, Society for Human Resource Management “Cathy Fyock knows there is no ‘silver bullet’ when it comes to successful recruiting and hiring–and that passive tactics do not provide high quality results. She knows the truth: Today’s low unemployment rates combined with increasing retirements of Baby Boomers spell trouble for employers hoping to expand. Her fresh approach shows the reader that there are numerous opportunities to connect with great future employees, and she provides practical advice for tapping multiple sources simultaneously, as well as interviewing and making offers. If you want to hire the best, this book is your guide!” Nancy S. Ahlrichs, SPHR, President, EOC Strategies, LLC Great business results start with great talent. Get it–and keep it!

The culture of an organization is an abstract, immaterial thing--yet culture is very real, and it's monumentally important for that organization's health, happiness, and success. An organization's culture is important for employee satisfaction and other "soft" factors, but it also makes a difference on the bottom line and quarterly reports--and in ways both more specific and more significant than you might imagine. In this Red Letter Publishing Professional Series anthology, our authors offer their measured suggestions for how you can cultivate a healthy, forward-thinking culture in your own organization. Like any matter of value, a good culture requires time and investment--but it needn't be as complex as brain surgery. For more industry insights from seasoned professionals, see our other Professional Series anthologies, such as 2016's Evolution of Human Resources. Knowledge is power--and now the knowledge is in your hands.For a list of contributing authors, see "About the Author" below.
