very very thorough with info not found anywhere else!
Great book. Very helpful insight into Recruiting industry that, in hindsight seems like common sense, but really is not.

Ph.D., Bradford D. Smart

Portfolio Hardcover, 2005

Wealth of Information
There is a wealth of information in Topgrading. Most business owners do not understand the importance of having the right people in the right spots. As the statistics show, about 75% of the people hired for a job are mis-hires. That is to say they are not the best available for the job and the salary range in the location of the job. In short, they are not "A" employees. There are many ...

Bruce Feldman

ESPN, 2007

Interesting Book, Even If It Is Dated
I graduated from the University of Arkansas. Reading this book and knowing that Houston Nutt replaced Ed Orgeron gave me a different perspective. I liked how the book had Orgeron's life history, which influenced how he and Ole Miss recruited. The anecdotes about the evaluation and discussion of recruits was as if I were listening to Orgeron. Having heard Orgeron speak at press conferences ...

Great book
Great author, too. I had him as a Criminal Justice professor at Grand Valley State University. He was an adjunct professor there for a couple of years. Very nice, very knowledgeable. This book is a good reference and starting point. Sure, most of the information is available on the Internet, but why go through all the trouble of finding it when it can all be at your fingertips?

A strong Primer for investigating a recruiting business
As a relatively new recruiter (roughly 8 years in the business), I found this book to be great.

Steven M. Finkel

Steven M. Finkel, 2008

Is this book misnamed?
I first received the older black-and-gold edition of Breakthrough! when I was starting out in this industry 12 years ago (has it been that long??). At the time, despite a good background in corporate sales, I thought it was the best-written most substantive industry-specific sales book I had ever read. As a new person, the chapters on identifying, qualifying and developing my client base were ...
