I'm Writing a Book...

Earlier this year I decided to write a book.

I have a publisher with several New York Times bestselling books under their belt and a team of editors who are guiding me through the writing process.

They’re making sure that my book doesn’t suck. Because as it turns out, writing a book is REALLY hard!

In fact, writing a couple hundred pages on a single topic has been one of the most difficult tasks that I’ve ever undertaken. 

But I felt like I had something valuable to say. Something that might help a recruiting leader out there. Specifically, someone who wants to build, scale or optimize a talent acquisition function in this ever-changing, complex environment that we’re operating in today.

SO WHAT’S THE BOOK ABOUT?

You’ll have to wait a few more months until it comes out, but I’ll give you a quick synopsis.

The book is about the emerging practice of “RecOps”.

If you’re not familiar with the term RecOps, it’s like “continuous improvement” for the recruiting industry.

It works in a similar way that “Six Sigma” does in Manufacturing or “Agile Development” does in the Software industry.

It’s a framework for optimizing your recruiting function in a deliberate and ongoing way.

Because it’s an emerging practice, there isn’t much written about RecOps. But that doesn’t mean that it’s not being done in some small circles around the world. My book will highlight a few different companies and people who are doing it well and share the set of principles and processes that they are using to get their operations under control, optimize their recruiting technology and dramatically improve their core metrics.

WANT A FREE COPY?

I’ll be putting the finishing touches on the book over the next couple months. 

If you want to get a free copy before it comes out, “Like” this post (or better yet, DM me your email address) and I’ll see that you get one.

I know that a book won’t solve all of our recruiting challenges, but I’m tired of hearing people say that “Recruiting is Broken” and I want to do my part to change the dialogue.
