I do still agree, that how you construct your advertising has a huge influence on your response. For me it was to attract volume.

Using Infogist to pull resumes from the job boards, then ranking them, refining them to city,state etc. takes 90% of the work out of the task of finding candidates. Being able to use dozens of 'search words' and then refining until getting the desired results is much more effective than (an a better use of time) than wading through hundreds or thousands of resumes. Once on the desktop, Copernic does a much better job than google desktop in finding info and displaying it in folders instead of sequentially, so that if you are unsure of which version, date or some other detail, by knowing other folder or organizational details it helps you to find things faster and is much more visual (allowing you to see information in the document in the split pane below without having to open it). #2 - By doing a .CC or .BCC to inbox.com (5 GB FREE Storage) or Google's gmail.com (2.7 G Storage FREE) you can search for keywords and keep things together easily by just putting meaningful subject fields on emails. There is a $20 program that installs into MS Outlook that allows you to turn on the ability to .CC or .BCC every email you send. Kevin,
