    Go to an employment agency. They screen all the resumes and do the interviews etc.

        You have employees and are familiar with managing people below you?

          No but it's general buiz knowledge. Obviously it wouldn't be worth the time to read 300 resumes. I think employment agencies charge something like 10% of the first paycheck for going through the whole hiring process.

          I'm working on my BBA that's why I know these things..

              I doubt Lens or any other Adult business wants to turn over its employee screening process to someone else.

                if you spend 3 min on each resume, you'll end up with 15 hours work.

                      Open up your own graphic artist workforhire agency. Look at all the talent you suddenly have at your disposal. Pay them by commission after the buyer accepts the product from you.

                        I doubt he's going to go through them all himself. So unless he gives it to a 3rd party or one of his bitches.

                                    when i think about it, the job is for a graphic artist. Flip through them fast (without reading anything) and pull 5 out that LOOK real cool. (10 mins tops to do this) Find the best Layout, color, design, etc.

                                    A graphic artist should have an incredible looking cool resume that catches your eye immediatly and MAKES you want to read more. Any graphic artist that doesn't have one like that isn't worth hiring.
                                    Look over and read the top five or so and hire from that. Burn the rest.

                                      Lensman, what's more frightening is that if you posted an ad asking webmasters to give you head you'd get the same number or more applicants from webmasters on this very board ready and willing!

                                              A quick visual scan should weed out 50-60% right then and there, then you only have up to 150 to go through

                                                I am the only one surprised that Lens couldn't fill his graphic artist position from GFY?

                                                Monster should be a last resort I would imagine, too much crap to filter through.

                                                Cheers,

                                                  A graphic artist should have an incredible looking cool resume that catches your eye immediatly and MAKES you want to read more. Any graphic artist that doesn't have one like that isn't worth hiring.
                                                  Look over and read the top five or so and hire from that. Burn the rest.
                                                  Sleazy is correct. But you gotta go through them yourself Lens.

                                                    Just fucking witcha b40.

                                                    Hmmm marginal profits and estimated quarterly returns? Yeah I skip way too many classes, out of my measly 16 hours a week I go to about 4-6.

                                                    I know you're fucking with me...but I don't think it's 25% yearly salary. And if it is that high it would most likely be shared between the employer and employee.

                                                    Say the salary is $50k. The employment agency would probably charge $5k and the employee would end up getting 45k...

                                                          Here's the way you do it. Read the first 1/3 of a page of each resume, and if they don't seem like what you're looking for by then, toss the resume. Anyone who doesn't know you have to sell yourself with the first few phrases and the first bits of information shouldn't be hired anyway. Then, you sit down and read the rest until you run into some kind of disqualifying information ("I'm a deacon in the First Presbyterian Church..." or "As soon as I got out of prison for embezzlement...") and then toss those resumes. By then, you'll be down to a reasonable quantity. The key is you don't have to read all of every single resume.
                                                          SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                                                                About 4 years ago me and my company were hired to take care of all the clients' personel business, we used to put out ads all the time and I had to read up to 80 at a time. My experience is you'll be able to pick some ppl on the first sentence. Also, a quick look at the CV itself gives you a very good impression.

                                                                Some ppl are messy, some have nice layout, some write well, others have terrible grammar. It wont take you more than 1 minute tops per CV. That is a 5 hour job, take them with you on the plain to Florida and you're set When you get back you know who to pick.

                                                                I bet you are willing to invest 5 hours reading your employee's info, if not, you seem pretty uninterested in the ppl that come work for you I doubt that is the case, as far as I got to know you the past year and a half

                                                                            We advertised for about 50 positions and got over 2000 resumes to sort through. It took 5 of us 2 days to go through them all and sort out who would be worth a look.

                                                                            For my department I Interviewed 10, I hired 5 and sacked one before we'd even opened the store.

The guys(or guy and girl in my situation) were not willing to change their beliefs on design. Many of these guys are set in their ways and unable to listen to simple instruction:-(

Flip through them fast (without reading anything) and pull 5 out that LOOK real cool. (10 mins tops to do this) Find the best Layout, color, design, etc.

                                                                                          A graphic artist should have an incredible looking cool resume that catches your eye immediatly and MAKES you want to read more. Any graphic artist that doesn't have one like that isn't worth hiring.
                                                                                          Look over and read the top five or so and hire from that. Burn the rest.
                                                                                          if they're from monster.com they might be email or text... but it's not so hard.. when I changed positions in my last company, I had to look over about 200 applications for my position.. thing is 60% are immediately too junior or otherwise unqualified.. another 30% were poor communicators and/or just not quite up to standard/wanted relocation costs from india etc.
                                                                                          It was the last 10% you actually spent time looking through. It's strange.. I wouldn't apply for something I couldn't handle but so many people will fling a resume at the drop of a hat.. even for a senior position.
                                                                                          doesn't take long to look through their core skills and experience.. it's that last 10%.
