Basic. Poor material

there was plenty of decent information from the perspective of recruiter searching for candidates. it was rather basic but to be expected in a dummy book. there was almost zero information regarding landing new clients. in fact there was significantly more information regarding how to interview from a job Seekers perspective than there was on the sales side of running a full desk recruiting. The one aspect of recruiting for which I purchased this book. I am terribly disappointed
