Recruiting on the Web : Smart Strategies for Finding the Perfect Candidate

At beginning of the first chapter author is trying to scare reader with large numbers. 350 million people, 200 million of resumes, 40000 job boards and so on. Author did well with googling all this info but when I see stuff like that I just see that author has nothing to say so he tries to fill more pages with numbers he found on internet.
After reading father book got better, but never went above intermediate level. Might be suitable for some old fashioned recruiters who still doing business mostly on paper, but for anyone who is already using internet heavily book has no value at all.
Here are some negative and positive facts about this book:
- Despite been published only like year ago, a lot of information is outdated.
- Too much self promotion. You can see that author (Michael Foster) has problems with too high self esteem.
- Many facts he uses in the book he googled somewhere but provided no source or proof.

+ Book is still quite good for people who are new to those “Web” or “Recruiting” things. Anyone with very beginning to almost intermediate level will most likely find there something useful.
+ Book will be very valuable for someone who is not recruiter, but who is just trying to hire one or two new employees without hiring professional recruiter.
