It was a dreaded time, every time we hired someone. Our Outlook email boxes filled up with resumes of semi-qualified people, and we needed to view the resumes, save the ones we liked, print them up, talk about who we wanted to interview, scrawling notes on the back of the resume… it was a nightmare.

“Wouldn’t it be great,” someone wisely asked, “if we had a way to organize this all online?”

It would be great, as it turns out, and Spice is the result of our attempt to make this easier. Spice does a few things really, really well:

1. It gives you a place to store resumes. Any resumes you get by email can be forwarded to a Spice dropbox account, and the resume is automatically imported into the system. The resume is converted into a web-friendly format so you can view it without downloading it into Word or Acrobat. We call this feature no data entry.
2. It has an online application form, so that people can just apply, rather that sending a resume by email. The application process is ridiculously easy — they just need to upload their resume. Spice automatically pulls out all the relevant information so that they don’t need to type in their name and address and whatnot. We call this feature one-click apply.
3. It lets you track the status of people on positions. Easily see who has applied, who you’re considering, when you’re interviewing people and more. We call this feature awesome. We don’t actually have a name for it, it’s just great.

So, why not check Spice out? It’s free for one position and up to 100 applicants, and it’s pretty inexpensive if you need more.
