Suzanne Berger - in the mail. Looks really good ... her premise is that: "cheap labor is not the answer; there are many different ways to win in the global economy, and that the avenues open to American companies are much wider than we ever imagined." Not exactly an edge-of-your-seat summer thriller but today (I seem to be on a lot of business book publisher lists) someone sent me "background screening and investigations: managing hiring risk from the HR and Security Perspectives." Actually looks like a good overview. Totally unrelated to recruiting: I just finished a short, wonderful book called "Rescuing Sprite" - if you have a dog, read it. A really touching book.
