From Both Sides of the Desk will significantly enhance your knowledge of the employment process. It is written in a unique style, which allows both the employer and job seeker to simultaneously "look over each other's shoulder" to better understand the other's motives and strategies.
More about the book
Community attitudes to employment are changing. Very few employees now look to the company to provide life long employment and most are prepared to change positions, companies, industries and even careers, several times in their working life.
Employees are expected to display greater flexibility and willingness to take on different types of work than ever before, as their organisations constantly maneuver to remain competitive.
Changes to employment conditions, including a raft of legislation directed at unfair dismissals, unlawful discrimination and the abolition of the retirement age, means that, employers, more than ever before are required to adopt an approach to recruitment which produces cost-effective and timely results. They must be able to source, attract and select the most suitable person, with almost pinpoint accuracy.
The reality is that both the employer and the job seeker are equal participants in the employment process. From Both Sides of the Desk has been written for employers and job seekers and aims to demonstrate that both are equally as important as the other.
Sharing the frustration of employers trying to find the 'right person', the job of the successful applicant and the determination of those who keep trying until they do succeed, have fueled the authors' belief "that there is a way of making the employment process work more efficiently for both parties".
Workshops based on the principles of this book ("Recruitment Skills" - for anyone employing staff and "Job Seeking Skills" - for anyone seeking employment), are also available.
