BOOKS
AntiHR. Motivators, contracts, forms, offers

In the book “AntiHR. Motivators, contracts, forms, offers” contains 137 document templates that help absolutely any specialist to find an answer at every stage of the recruitment.

This book is a kind of "lazy" HR, when all the instructions are designed and written for you, and you only need to take the relevant form.

Read the step-by-step instructions on how to use it, get acquainted with the case from our long-term recruiting practice of the HURMA recruitment team and apply it in your restaurant. It's like the iPhone, everything is simple and easy, only in recruiting.

Here you will find a series of forms on how to write an job teaser, how to prepare for an interview, how to interview and then how to guide a candidate.

Everything is very practical, without unnecessary theory and water.
Talent hunt. Weapons and 77 ways to use them

The Talent Hunt book contains the most necessary information: how to work with a employer and with an applicant, what passive and active recruitment is, how to conduct an effective interview, check references and make a job offer.

The book will help to solve existing problems with the staff and prevent new ones, as well as debug the process of creating a strong and confident team.

In addition to theory, you will find a large amount of practical material: from forms to programs, from tools to case studies.
"My" restaurant! Dream Job Guide

Have you often thought about what it means to work in a buzz?

Of course, you may think that being a lucky candidate for a cool job is a good luck, but I think that this is a result of hard work. That is why I wrote the book.

After all, many people need to realize their strengths, understand how they can be used in building a career, but the main thing is to clearly define where you want to work and what the portrait of your ideal employer looks like.

If you want a cool job - read and develop yourself!
