"My research focus is primarily on film, television, and popular culture. I think my research helps Education For A Better World by examining the important cultural impact of those media, from the ways certain stories raise key issues within society to the popularity of certain types of narratives at particular historic moments. My critical work explores how film and television reflect issues that matter to people – issues of faith, politics, and culture."
– Dr. Michael Boyce, Associate Professor, Vice President Academic and Dean

We help our clients build a laser-like approach to targeting great local candidates who live close to your locations before the competition hires them. Let our expertise in geofencing recruiting help you target and engage awesome workers where they live, work, and shop.
Why Geofence?
- Target passive candidates before your competition using GPS and advanced geo-location data.
- Reach people who live near your locations and immediately lower your turnover by 25%-50% (Pew Study).
- Reach people who live with a candidate. Spouses, family members, and significant others are powerful influencers in career decisions.
How Geofencing Works

Are you considering a cabinet refinishing project for your home in Laguna Hills, California? If the answer is yes, it could be in your best interest to hop off the refinishing train and read more about a similar, yet more advantageous, process called cabinet refacing.
In its simplest form, cabinet refinishing consists of sanding down your kitchen cabinets, staining them with your desired lacquer, and finishing them off with a shiny top coat for a "new" cabinet look. However, a new look is hardly what you'll get. You'll still have those same old cabinets, just in a different color. Everything else will be identical, yet you'll have paid for a professional renovation.
On the other end of the spectrum, cabinet refacing can transform almost everything you don't like about your current cabinets – without leaving you to splurge on completely new ones. (Those savings can then go towards other essentials, like kitchen organization options.) We can upgrade the exteriors with thick real wood panels, then complement the new color with custom doors, drawer fronts, and hardware. The end result is nearly indistinguishable from a brand new set of cabinets – and far nicer than cabinet refinishing.
If you'd like to learn more about refacing as an alternative to cabinet refinishing, call our Laguna Hills, CA contractors whenever it's convenient for you. We'd also be happy to give you a free quote – just let us know that you're planning a remodel and would like to renovate your cabinets as part of the process!
