The Lean Recruiting Toolkit: An Agile Blueprint for Creating & Executing Top Hiring Strategies

"Lean" is a manufacturing concept that's been around for several decades. Brown gives a short history of the approach, then lays out how he applies it to corporate recruiting, which occupies the rest of the book. Brown writes with the attention to detail and the bottom-line orientation of America's best CEOs.

There isn't much here for the casual follower of management trends. Rather, it is HR managers, search firm executives, and small business owners who will revel in Brown's acumen and analysis, the plethora of real-world examples, and his subtle sense of humor.
