Peter Cappelli confronts the myth of the skills gap and provides an
actionable path forward to put people back to work. Even in a time
of perilously high unemployment, companies contend that they cannot
find the employees they need. Pointing to a skills gap, employers
argue applicants are simply not qualified; schools aren't preparing
students for jobs; the government isn't letting in enough
high-skill immigrants; and even when the match is right,
prospective employees won't accept jobs at the wages offered. In
this powerful and fast-reading book, Peter Cappelli, Wharton
management professor and director of Wharton's Center for Human
Resources, debunks the arguments and exposes the real reasons good
people can't get hired. Drawing on jobs data, anecdotes from all
sides of the employer-employee divide, and interviews with jobs
professionals, he explores the paradoxical forces bearing down on
the American workplace and lays out solutions that can help us
break through what has become a crippling employer-employee
stand-off. Among the questions he confronts: Is there really a
skills gap? To what extent is the hiring process being held hostage
by automated software that can crunch thousands of applications an
hour? What kind of training could best bridge the gap between
employer expectations and applicant realities, and who should foot
the bill for it? Are schools really at fault? Named one of HR
Magazine's Top 20 Most Influential Thinkers of 2011, Cappelli not
only changes the way we think about hiring but points the way
forward to rev America's job engine again.
