Take the $ting Out of Finding Employees
Thursday, January 29th, 2009

It might sound like a dating site, but it’s not. RealMatch.com puts the hiring power back into the hands of the employer. Gosh, I love the internet!

RealMatch LogoIf you’ve ever dealt with (or considered doing business with) a placement firm or online hiring website, you know how costly it can be. There’s a fee to place your opening or there’s a fee if you hire someone or there’s a fee for the fee. It’s nuts.

So it was coolio when I found out about RealMatch.com.

The deal is employers can post a job for free (nationwide or regional) and allow RealMatch’s “matching technology” to line up potential hires that are a good fit for the available position.

Employers can view the qualifications of applicants . . . for free. You read that right–for F-R-double-E!

Once an employer sees an applicant he or she wants to contact/interview, at that point the employer pays a minimal fee–like a paltry $40 to review three resumes.  Schweet!

Gone are the days where employers have to follow a pay-per-post model. RealMatch.com is a stronger and better alternative to Monster.com. And once it becomes even more popular, it’ll be the clear solution for SMBs. Be an early adopter.

Take the Plunge: Is It Time for a Server?
Monday, October 22nd, 2007

I get asked this question a lot: we’re a growing company, how do when know when it’s time for us to buy a server?

Many people will tell you that the time is when you have more than one computer that you want to connect. Wrong! That’s what peer-to-peer networking is for.

Others will say the minute you need to be able to access company files from home. Wrong again. GoToMyPC has solved that little dilemma.

And, a small batch will say it’s when you need to do group schedules. Buzz! Ever heard of Basecamp or Unfuddled anyone?

OK, so when is it time?

When you’re tired of:

  • E-mailing co-workers files–or putting them into a CD–just so they can access your files on their machine
  • Needing a printer for each machine (or you’re sick of switching out the printer cable)
  • Wondering how you’re going to continue updating software and virus definition files for all the computers in your company

Chances are, if you’ve ever run into these kinds of challenges, you need a server.

Bottomline: So what are you waiting for?
