"Another excellent and engaging text by Stephen Taylor. This is a book that the reader will want to pick up."
Philip Wilding, Senior Lecturer, Newcastle Business School, Northumbria University
"It may be rash to claim that there is nothing more you'll ever need to know about resourcing and talent management once you've read this book, but nonetheless it is a claim I come close to making. Stephen takes complicated themes and breaks them down into meaningful messages - no wonder students like him so much. Everything he writes is said with the long-term health of the business in mind. This is what matters - for students, for employees, and clearly for organisations themselves. And ultimately, this is why Stephen's book matters."
Ted Johns, CIPD Chief Examiner, People Resourcing
