Recruit or Die
By Chris Resto, Ian Ybarra and Ramit Sethi. If your company doesn’t recruit people then your business will die. This statement is about as necessary as saying if nobody has children then the human race will cease to exist. Necessary or not this book is good, and useful. If you or your company has anything to do with hiring people, which is more than likely, then this is a must read book. It is an insightful look into how companies (Microsoft, McKinsey and Goldman Sachs to be precise) get the recruits that they want and the best ones for the job. Although it doesn’t have any examples of small companies like us, the lessons learnt from the massive ones can still be applied to your business, as long as you follow the advice carefully and think carefully about how it can work for you.
