Review :
"These chapters capture knowledge that cannot be gained elsewhere. They do not review the existing literature or rehash well-recognized issues but instead reflect those important insights that can only be gained from years of developing selection systems in organizations, which these authors are uniquely able to do." --Michael Campion, professor of management, Krannert Graduate School of Management, Purdue University "A thought-provoking book that is both contemporary and forward looking. I expect to refer to it frequently." --L. Rogers Taylor, director of research, State Farm Insurance Companies
