Trade Review“The co-founders of human resources software firm Greenhouse Software make a strong case for systematizing talent acquisition.... Their fervent belief that senior executives need to be more engaged in the staffing process, rather than simply delegate it to human resources, is the cornerstone of their approach, which aims to help readers to identify, attract, and retain the best talent.... A forward-thinking and enlightening view of hiring practices.” —Kirkus Reviews
