Resources for headhunting and recruiting professionals
January 12, 2007 8:53 AM Subscribe
I'm looking for resources (books, online, other) on recruiting and headhunting.
My wife is a high level employee in charge of recruiting for an international construction consulting business. She has asked me to put that internet hoo-ha I'm always dinking around with to good use and research some resources for her to expand her knowledge with. Specifically:
*Books and online or other resources for recruiters and headhunters
*Her company recruits internationally, so anything with a focus on that aspect would be valuable
*Any ideas about job-hunting resources that might be off the beaten path of Monster and CareerBuilder, particularly that might appeal to individuals in this field, i.e. construction cost consulting, quantity surveying, project and cost management consultants. Not strict freelance consultant sites though, as the goal is to actually hire employees, not just contract independent consultants.
*Resources on actually screening, interviewing and making hiring decisions.
*Anything to help with ideas about setting up/negotiating information systems & databases for tracking prospects and hires.
She is not starting from scratch and is working with a lot of givens, so the focus is on getting a broader perspective on the process of recruiting, management philosophies for recruiting departments, and so on.
And anything else you can think of.

I read a book called "Ask the Headhunter" (blog, too) a while back. It was very good and not full of the usual Human Resources stuff. In fact, it was very anti-HR departments, which I found refreshing.
