Global Staffing Reviews

'Staffing is a key HRM activity critical for understanding organisations and organisational performance. This book, written inspiringly, makes a unique contribution through its wide range of classical as well as contemporary topics, its critical research focus and the coherent themes running through the book. It provides a truly global perspective, thus combining much of the existing knowledge - highly recommended for researchers, practitioners and students interested in the field!' - Wolfgang Mayrhofer, Wirtschaftsuniversitat Wien, Vienna, Austria
