What the hell am I supposed to do with 300 resumes?
 

I put an ad on Monster for a graphic artist and get 300 fucking resumes.

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

start a nice warm toasty fire

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

:glugglug :glugglug

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..

you need to hire a reviewer now!

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

:glugglug

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

Some recruitment agencies pay up to $50 per CV...you got cash with those puppies.....about $15k of cash...

Wallpaper?

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. :1orglaugh

hire me, so u don't have to review all 300 pages.

oh, I expect 5.5 dollars/hour. no benefits etc... sound good? give me a call now at 1800-work-4fun

Toilet paper?

seems graphic artists arn't worth much........

supply and demand.

well i think they charge something around 25% of anual pay :thumbsup

Which is really what it's about, b40 skipped the class about marginal prfit and estimated quarterly returns. ;)

Just fucking witcha b40.

:winkwink:

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!

Housetrain a puppy??

:eek7


Speak only for yourself, I did not know you have a thing for Lensman

Dude, I'd be first in line but there would be 300+ eager people behind me.

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.

Sleazy is correct. But you gotta go through them yourself Lens.

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...

should of took the offer from myself and tylo lens we emailed back in forth for a while but finally ya never emailed us back ?:Graucho

congrats sexygoat, your signature only takes up half my 18" monitor now...

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.

turn them into pornslaves

Put an ad on Monster.com for a "resume reviewer".

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:winkwink: I doubt that is the case, as far as I got to know you the past year and a half:thumbsup

To find the correct employee:

Smoke some weed -- then randomly choose one resume.

It was destiny.

Yes Sir.

*bowl*

Hahaha!:thumbsup

Anytime I used a nagency to get mea job theycharge the emplloyerrs 25-30% for the years salary and these wherer 75-90k jobs

Don't you have a Resource Manager or Head manager of the Graphic dept to help you ?



Heck in my years of management, even the assistant managers were able to interview and hire..
:)

Back in the day when I worked for a living I was involved in opening a new store.

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.

Throw them in the Trash and use us

Lens,

I did the same thing. out of over 325 resumes I hired 2 people. Fired both of them within a week. 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:-(

Bwhahahahah!

why would you post a resume on monster for graphic design. hello, you run a board with tons of talented designers.. hell there was a design contest with a lot of great designs... and most of them would do anything to work for you Lens .. :P

Throw then all away and contract with Liquid By Design

Lens.....

LMAO

A) Looks like he wants an in-house employee.
2) Maybe he doesn't like the designers here
D) Its probably a hell of a lot cheaper

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%.

Isn't DELEGATION a part of management anymore :)

300 resumes divided by ? employees who each pick out 5 resumes for you to review. Whoever picked the resume you decide on get's ?

And I'd give the guy who thought of this great process
which eliminated many boring hours of work for you ???

That's how I'd do it!


RD

You own a Bulletin Board with 100's of talented people and you
put an ad on Monster.......what have you been smoking?

DynaMite :eek7

probably some of these resumes :thumbsup

read each one

otherwise you won't know if you really hire the best person for the job
