Hey there,
Two things we don’t talk about enough:
1️⃣ Tech that doesn’t break every other day
2️⃣ Hiring that doesn’t suck the life out of HR
Because nothing kills productivity like a Wi-Fi meltdown or spending 47 hours scheduling interviews.
This week, we’re spotlighting two tools that bring calm, clarity, and actual joy back to operations and hiring.
📌 TOOLiee’s Fun Fact Corner
Employees lose 22 minutes a day to tech issues — that’s 95+ hours a year wasted on frozen screens, glitchy tools, and printers with attitudes.
Good news?
Tools like Nurture IT keep your tech running smoothly, and Goodfit cuts hiring time by automating first-round interviews.
Less chaos, more actual work. 🚀
