Drowning in resumes Q: | 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: | 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. Right now, you can post a job for FREE at LinkedIn.com/Kim. |

Backing up five computers Q: | Q: I have a nonprofit Christian ministry. I have five computers: three Macs and two Windows. What is a good backup service? I’ve had the same company for several years and they keep getting more expensive and more expensive every year and I don’t always get everything backed up. Do you know of a company that backs up computers but doesn’t cost a lot of money? | A: | A: Most people are just backing up their phone and computer, but you certainly need more space than that. My pick is my sponsor, IDrive. You can sync as many devices you want to one account, which makes backing up and finding anything you need super easy. The best part is it's a steal. Get 5 TB of storage a year for just a few bucks. I bet that's a heck of a lot cheaper than what you're paying now. Get your exclusive discount at IDrive.com and use promo code Kim at checkout. |
