Recruiting--weeding out the ones you don't want
After receiving a resume, send the person a simple test that will show you if they are detailed, can use e-mail, can look up a web site, can gather information, can spell, etc.
Q1: Anyone have any other good ways of weeding out the ones who wouldn't be good in an office setting? Or just plain weeding out the ones who lie on their resumes?
Idea Description
I found so many people who had great looking resumes but once I started going through the process, I found that they had poor grammer, couldn't spell, and just had no idea about computers when their resume stated they knew every program. So I put a test together that I send out initially with simple steps that tell them to send an email to a certain email address, put a certain title in the subject, and put a certain subject in the body of the e-mail. In each step, I change the subject slightly such as Test, TeSt, TeST, etc. I would have them go into the company web site and copy/paste a key portion of what we do so I'll know they can use the internet/e-mail but also can follow directions
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
I would pay off the debt the company has, upgrade the software we use, give a bonus to everyone, and maybe be able to splurge a little to get the managers on a trip together.

I like your idea; I want to improve your odds of getting funding I will vote for your idea if you will vote for mine. My idea is for a web site that raises money for inventors and entrepreneurs called New Idea website Check out my idea blob submission and visit New Idea Website and see what I can do for you. http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/4060-NEW-IDEA-WEBSITE The need for jobs is one of the biggest problems that a democratic government faces because creating jobs is an unwanted byproduct of business and industry. The reason I say its unwanted is the more jobs a business creates the more its expenses are and the smaller it’s bottom-line. If business and industry have their way they would run their companies with no jobs at all no management or labor. To deal with this dilemma I pr…moreopose a federal venture capital carrot fund that literally pays entrepreneurs to create jobs. The investment bank would be expected invest in seed level startup projects like yours and to lose money at a specified dollar per jobs ratio for example during hard times that figure may be as high as $20,000 per job and good times the figure may be as low as five dollars per job, by controlling this ratio the fed could roughly control unemployment. The bank will be expected to fund novel products and services and stay away from things like restaurants that will simply draw jobs from other restaurants or moving factories from one part of the country to another. If you like this idea vote for it and send the congressional letter from the website. Sincerely Frank Scruggs
