Reviews

The strength of the book is its empirical material in support of insightful critiques of our contemporary economy, job market and recruitment industry.

`... a controversial book which argues that the need for graduate workers is not as great as the government predicts and that too many employers are asking for graduate skills they don't need.' The Guardian (Education) `An important critique of where managerial jobs and careers are headed. [Brown & Hesketh] offer a powerful and alternative view of the War for Talent , a future where talent is increasingly global and abundant and good opportunities remain rationed.' Peter Cappelli, George W. Taylor Professor of Management, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania `This is a timely, provocative, and novel book that is destined to become a classic.' Professor Alan Felstead, Centre for Labour Market Studies, University of Leicester `This book represents many of the talent-management challenges faced by the next generation of HR directors.' Martin Hird, Director of Talent, Royal Mail
