Coverdill and William Finlay invite readers into the dynamic world of headhunters, personnel professionals who acquire talent for businesses and other organizations on a contingent-fee basis. In a high-tech world where social media platforms have simplified direct contact between employers and job seekers, Coverdill and Finlay acknowledge, it is relatively easy to find large numbers of apparently qualified candidates. However, the authors demonstrate that headhunters serve a valuable purpose in bringing high -touch search into the labor market: they help parties on both sides of the transaction to define their needs and articulate what they have to offer. As well as providing valuable information for sociologists and economists, High Tech and High Touch demonstrates how headhunters approach practical issues such as identifying and attracting candidates; how they solicit, secure, and evaluate search assignments from client companies; and how they strive to broker interactions between candidates and clients to maximize the likelihood that the right people land in the right jobs. 588 0 Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on May 17, 2018). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Employees|xRecruiting|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008103019 650 0 Executives|xRecruiting|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh94006509|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 0 Information technology|xEconomic aspects|zUnited States. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008123682 650 0 Social media|xEconomic aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2010113589|zUnited States.|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 7 Employees|xRecruiting.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /909181 650 7 Executives|xRecruiting.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/917917 650 7 Information technology|xEconomic aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/973097 650 7 Social media|xEconomic aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1767769 650 7 Social media.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/ homoit0001321 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Finlay, William,|d1955-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n86047201|eauthor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aCoverdill, James E.|tHigh tech and high touch.|dIthaca : ILR Press, an imprint of Cornell University Press, 2017|z9781501702808|w(DLC) 2017015924 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1589140|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
