I need hiring help

Q: I need to hire someone, but I can barely manage all the resumes I get when I post a job online. I stick to the free sites to save cash, but I'm feeling like that's the wrong move. Any advice?

A: You can attract a lot of candidates on those sites, but as you've found, you won't necessarily get the right ones. It's a ton of work sorting through all of that! You might not even find anyone who fits the job.

When I'm hiring, I use LinkedIn Jobs. It can help by matching your role with qualified candidates so you can find the right person quickly. LinkedIn screens for skills and you can use a ton of different tools to narrow down your search. That means so much less work on your end.

You can pay what you want, and you can use my special link to get $50 off your first posting.


Keep an eye on my kids

Q: My daughter gets her license this year, and I'm already stressed about it. What app or gadget can I use to make sure she's safe?

A: It's called Life360, and it's a total game-changer when it comes to keeping your entire family safe. It lets you know when your kid made it from point A to point B safely. You’ll get a complete driver report, and in case of an accident, there’s automatic crash detection with emergency dispatch. With just one login and one monthly charge, you get lots of comprehensive safety and coordination tools. I love how handy it is!

Don't just take my word for it. Over 25 million families worldwide trust Life360.

Choosing the right backup option

Q: I have some files saved with Google, some in iCloud and a bunch in Dropbox. It's annoying to have things spread all around. Which one is the best?

A: Instead of bouncing around, pick one service you can use with all your gadgets and stick with it. That'll save you a headache in the long run. The easiest, quickest way to make sure you back up every document, photo and video is with my sponsor, IDrive. It works with PCs, Androids, Macs and iPhone — and you can import all your data into one account. Easy! For less than $7 for your first year, you get 5 terabytes of cloud space. That should be all you need and more.

You really can’t beat that price. Get your exclusive discount at IDrive.com and use promo code Kim at checkout.
