Tech Forward:

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!

If 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.

There are many talented graphic designers out there who would like to do some web work–but that means learning a whole new language . . . the language of web programming.  Or does it?

I have just learned of a service that converts Photoshop files (PSD) into CSS-driven HTML files–no coding needed. It’s called PSD2CSS.

I did some poking around on the site, and it looks like it’s legit. The site offers video demos and tutorials along with helpful hints about how to make the most of all the service has to offer.

And best of all, it’s FREE.

Viven los robots!

Here’s what the site says about psd2css:

“psd2css Online is Software as a Service that converts your fantastic, creative, artistic, no holds barred web page designs into dynamic HTML and CSS web pages automatically. Use Photoshop or The Gimp to express yourself and create the most professional, aesthetically perfect, dynamic and functional designs you can think of. CSS stands or Cascading Style Sheets and is technically the best way to build your web pages.”

So if you’re a pro with Photoshop, but can’t or don’t have the desire to figure out how to code websites, your train just pulled in. Toot, toot!
