This book looks at the topic of recruitment on the Internet. The authors, active for years in developing Internet HR resources, have endeavoured to lay out techniques for effective Internet-based employee recruitment. They note that, although the Internet will probably never completely supplant traditional means of locating talent, it is certainly a valuable tool and many ways of using it are recommended; Internet research and advertising, to name just two.

The one real drawback of this book is that it is an introductory text aimed at those with little or no experience in the field, and so might not be useful to those who are just looking to broadening their existing skills or knowledge.

The Web is a gold mine for job seekers; with the click of a mouse, one can come across dozens and even hundreds of job vacancies. However, the sheer quantity of the available information can be bewildering to the uninitiated.

The authors of this recently-updated reference work have done employment hunters a great service by sifting through the morass of material available online — recruiting sites, non-profits, career resources, bulletin boards, etc. — and laying them out clearly and systematically for their readers’ benefit. It is a virtual encyclopedia of online job-seeking tools. Beware, however — the actual process of finding a job online is not explained in any great detail, and those expecting a walk-through of the process will be disappointed.
