David FriedlandMoneyball by Michael Lewis
This product was recommended by Michael Taylor from Shifting Shares
At first glance this is a baseball book, however, I have not found a better book on developing a recruiting strategy. This book deals a baseball team that doesn’t have a lot of money to sign star players, so the front office must look to undervalued assets. I really love the concept finding talent that has been overlooked for a variety of reasons. Michael Lewis does a great job of expressing how a baseball teams adjusts its recruiting strategy to compete with larger market teams. This is so applicable in business today, especially in the financial world. In finance, doing the same thing as everyone else is a great way to achieve average results. Being able to find talent that has been overlooked or missed provides a wonderful opportunity to create value in your employees. Highly recommend this read!

The author of this book has a background in agency recruiting, but his methods can be loosely applied to any industry.

Social Media Recruitment by Headworth
This product was recommended by Kevin from NANBF
This book by Andy Headworth really helped me change the way that I go about recruiting for my business, and I would recommend it to anyone who has a role in recruiting in any business. In the fitness field, social media is an integral part of the way that we do business, and a social media presence is basically a necessity of having a fitness business – so why shouldn’t it play a big part in the way that we recruit too. Headworth helped me to restructure recruiting processes in our business to better suit our modern world, and our specific business needs (it is always beneficial if a trainer comes to us with a prebuilt audience and client base).
