Book Description
Heneman and Judge’s Staffing, 5th Edition, is based on a comprehensive staffing model. Components of the model include staffing models and strategy, staffing support systems (legal compliance, planning, job analysis and rewards), core staffing systems (recruitment, selection, employment), and staffing system and retention management. Up-to-date research and business practices are the hallmarks of this market leading text. In-depth applications (cases and exercises) at the end of chapters provide students with skill-building and practice in key staffing activities and decision-making. A comprehensive running case involving a fictitious retailing organization provides even greater opportunity for in-depth analysis and skill building. Students also have the opportunity to address ethical issues at the end of each chapter.

Student opinion.......2007-04-19
I am currently reading this book for a class. The class consensus is that is has useful information but it is written in a research manner vs. a teaching/learning manner. This makes it an extremely dry and boring read much of the time. The chapter on measurements was excrutiating to read and retain. It is definately written with larger corporations in mind. As useful as the information in this book is, it is written in a manner that is not as conducive to student learning in my opinion. I think that this book could be much better than it is.
Staffing Organizations.......2007-02-13
This is a required book that I had to purchase for one of my HR classes. In fact the name of the class was Staffing Organizations. The book is very easy to read and has alot of useful information. Great for recruiters.
Great Concept but Outdated.......2004-10-08
This is the book I've assigned to graduate HR Management students studying staffing. It does the job, but needs more than just a cosmetic overhaul - which is what happened between the former edition and this one.
Staffing remains the most strategically influential activity HR professionals can perform, and yet this book says so little about:
o Organizational strategy
o Web-based recruitment
o Internet-based interviewing and screening technique
o Interactive engines for applying for jobs, e.g., Wal-Mart
Its min-case studies are OK, but, again, so outdated.
Make this book as good as it used to be, Dr. Heneman!!
An in-depth exploration of the Staffing function.......2004-01-29
I personally loved this book. Its content is enriched with a wealth of professional and practical theory about corporate staffing strategies and systems. The Staffing Organizations Model that shapes the structure of this text is considered a profound, intergrated, and coherent framework for the dynamic realm of staffing. The model's flow is logical, commencing from legal compliance and job analysis and concluding with employee retention management. The book helped me develop a sound conceptual map of what Staffing is, what it includes, and how its sub-systems interrelate. I recommend this book to all people who are interested or work in the Staffing field.
A Solid Human Resources Recruitment and Staffing Guide.......2003-11-24
As a human resources professional and a graduate student at Troy State University, I found this text to be very insightful in all aspects of researching, designing, planning, and implementing various internal and external staffing strategies, policies, procedures, and practices. This text is definitely an invaluable reference book that should be a part of any human resources professional's library.
Book Description

Customer Reviews:
A crucial must have for today's HR Practioner.......2002-12-31
An excellent source for every practioner. The authors take you through all the change facing organizations today and the stressors that such change is producing.
From aptitude testing, muilt-step selection procedures, technology and competencies, the authors lay out a clear framework for managing selection in changing organizations.
Whether you are a seasoned HR Practioner or a new hiring manager, I would recommend this book.
A timely topic for HR practitioners........2000-05-15
As stated by series editor Eduardo Salas, "this volume is about the practice of selection strategies in rapidly changing organizations. A timely topic for both practitioners and scientists. Jerard F. Kehoe was able to assemble an excellent group of industrial / organizational psychologists to write about how selection interfaces with individual, social, and organizational factors. The chapters describe how demographic changes, team-membership, cultural differences, legislation, and social policy influence the selection strategy process. The chapters offer many useful and practical insights about the practice of selection strategies in an every-changing organizational world. This volume is invaluable to those concerned with applying selection processes in organizations and to those who research selection systems."
In this context, as a sample, in fourth chapter of this book, "Managing 'Customers' of Selection Processes", Stephen W. Gilliland and Bennett Cherry (1) focus on managing the customers of selection, (2) specifically consider the perspective of each customer group in each of the three stages of the selection process (that is, development, assessment, feedback), and (3) finally conclude the chapter with some summary recommendations for maintaining as successful customer-based selection system.
(1). Who Are the Customers? : In this section, Gilliland and Cherry define customers of selection, and their needs, desires, and goals for selection are summarized as :
a. Line Managers :
* Accurate and informative indicators of applicant potential.
* Quick and easy-to-use selection process.
* Flexibility and accommodation of selection procedures.
* Perceived validity of selection process.
b. Coworkers :
* Accurate and informative indicators of applicant potential.
* Input into the selection decision-making process.
* Perceived validity of selection process.
c. Applicants :
* Appropriate hiring decision.
* Unbiased, job-related selection process that gives them a chance to demonstrate their potential .
* Honest and sensitive interpersonel treatment.
* Timely and informative feedback.
(2). Managing Customers of Selection : After defining the stages of a customer-based selection system as development, assessment, and feedback, in this section, they consider how to manage the needs of the customers during each of these selection stages.
(3). Summary Recommendations : In this section, they made the following recommendations for managing the customers of selection.
a. For Line Managers and Coworkers :
* Communicate how and why a new selection system is being developed.
* Involve line managers in development and administration of the selection system.
* Train line managers in the use of the selection system and in effective interviewing and decision making.
* Simplify the assessment process to ease administration.
* Solicit feedback on the effectiveness of and satisfaction with the selection system.
b. For Applicants :
* Include applicant concerns in the development of the selection system.
* Provide applicants with an understanding of what the selection process entails and how it was developed.
* Make sure the selection procedures are job-related and unbiased, and give applicants a chance to demonstrate their potential.
* Make sure the selection process is consistently administered.
* Treat applicants with honesty and respect, and allow for two-way communication.
* Deliver timely and informative feedback to applicants on the hiring decision.
* Solicit feedback from applicants on their reactions to the selection process.
Not only this chapter, but this book as a whole is highly recommended for HR practitioners.

Dowdall's book offers sample documents for candidates as well as for the search committees, and includes a substantive bibliography. From her vantage point outside the institution, Dowdall is able to provide a unique point of view and insightful comments on the complex and often daunting process of the academic executive search. Key selling points include: The eagerness for career advice that exists, both from candidates (Part I of the book) and search committees (Part II of the book); a visible author, who writes a monthly column in the Chronicle of Higher Education and lectures often at leadership seminars; and information on this subject which covers all institutional types, including liberal arts colleges, comprehensive institutions, research universities, and community colleges.

Complete Package if you're serious about the staffing crisis........2006-11-03
This book presents it all in various chapters examining the crisis in human services. It's not just about the money anymore and these authors cover all the bases. From advertising and recruitment to how to improve longevity - it's all in this book and it's based on RESEARCH!
This book is a must read for everyone in Human Services and should be on the list for aging BabyBoomers - not only isn't there going to be any Social Security for us, there won't be anyone to work in the nursing homes and retirement centers either!
Highly recommend this book!
