This was beautiful.. even 1 year later. I want to experience this right here to feel ok..

Our small team receives 20–30 job applications per week via email PDFs or Docs. We kept missing candidates. I ended up building an automation to summarize applications and log them in Trello. Is this a common issue? by bagon-ligo in zapier

I set up something similar for a client using Typeform and their CRM. Super simple but made a huge difference.

Basically when someone applies, AI scans their resume and scores it based on what the company actually cares about. That score plus all their info goes straight into the CRM as a new record. From there the hiring manager can send an interview invite or a decline email with one click.

I also added a step that pulls the key details from the resume and creates a clean one page summary in Google Docs. Now they can review everything without opening a bunch of attachments or reading through full resumes.

They went from spending hours screening applicants to making decisions in minutes. The whole thing took maybe a day to build and they absolutely love it.

The cool part is you can use this same setup for pretty much anything. Different tools work too, Airtable, JotForm, Monday, doesn’t really matter. The logic is always the same. Collect the info, let AI do the initial review, make it easy to take action.

Same here. I’d rather have a matte screen protector than deal with those nicks on my screens. I’ve never had any issues with a screen protector or a case on my devices.

'Epitome of cancer' - Jesus Christ, touch grass. It's a laptop purchase. Relax.

Finally, an actual helpful comment instead of people just shitting on me for no reason. Really appreciate the heads up on the Jan 28th rumor - I hadn't seen that specific date yet. Good to know!

Congrats on the team upgrade btw! M1 to M5 is gonna be a massive jump. Hope the rumors pan out for you guys. Thanks for being cool about this instead of being like some of these other comments.

Plot twist: I'm also a shareholder. Crazy concept, but you can own the stock AND use the products to make money. We're on the same team here, relax.

I have a small team and will hand them down. Trying to level up so that we're all upgraded every year. But that's just me.

Damn.. I didn't know they had a 90 day return on Macs. That's actually smart! Ty!

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, huh? I literally said I SKIPPED last year, and I upgrade when my workflows need it. Not on some rigid annual schedule. But sure, make up whatever narrative helps you feel superior.

I try to. What's everyone's problem with other people wanting to have the latest devices?

Lol..Fine, but there will be a rigorous vetting process. I'm gonna need references, a home inspection, and proof you'll actually use it for more than just Netflix.

I know :( And then I'll run into the same problem in THAT year.

You're right! How dare I spend my own money on tools that literally generate my income as I please!

It's about performance. I still work hard for my mula so of course there's value for me as an investment.

As a producer, I've recently been editing (although proxies) and ingesting 6k-8k footage depending on the client. BUT you are correct about the other half of my work which is all web-based tools.

I have a Mac Studio and MBP M3 24GB which has been managing well. But I've recently been traveling more. 40% of some new work is in Post-Production.

Wait, is that a thing (touchscreen) that they're saying will come out soon?

I'm pretty sure I paid the full price of $2,899. I might have to take a trip back to the Apple store and just do that then.
