Summary: The bible of selection! A must have!
Review: Gatewood and Feild have definitely written the authoritative volume on selecting employees. They cover everything: legal issues, measurement, selection decision making strategies, job analysis, and the whole gamut of selection devices: application forms, biodata, interviews, ability tests, personality tests, assessment centers, integrity testing, and so on and so forth. And they cover these topics IN DEPTH -- not just a brief overview. The countless examples are very helpful. And the authors display a great dry humor -- the author bios and dedications are priceless (also be sure and check out the graphologist's interpretation of Gatewood's personality, and his responses)! I definitely recommend this book as a text for graduate and undergraduate classes, and also for the HR person who needs to beef up their selection know-how. A great reference source full of the latest selection research -- a must have for every practitioner's and student's collection.
