Placement Management

Placement Management 

Placement Management is the definitive reference for staffing businesses. Using it gives placement practitioners the equivalent of a Ph.D. It contains an index of over 750 key words, phrases, sources and case citations.

Placement Management draws not only from the knowledge of the authors, but from hundreds of professionals who contributed their expertise. Having it near your desk is like having an in-house team of consultants and placement attorneys.
