detailed spec sheet
I don't think I have ever seen one of those. Can I have a job?
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
I think a detailed spec sheet is one of those mythical creatures like unicorns, in SME's.

Hey guys, most folks I'm sure have been involved in hiring developers in some form or other. In your experience, through what medium are you generally most likely to find the best applicants? We've been asked to go a route that I'm not really comfortable with and am sure is going to provide plenty headache to sift through CV wise X| Recruitment Agencies Word of Mouth Poaching/Headhunting Associates Newspapers Online Job ads etc. and please substantiate why. My personal preference is either through agencies or headhunting, the one because they pre-screen a lot of the chancers and the other because generally I've found that the good ones get kept close by the companies they work for. PS. To all the fellow saffers don't forget to vote tomorrow! :thumbsup:
Online job ads are a lot cheaper, but most companies use recruitment agencies, anyway. With recruitment agencies, you're basically paying thousands of dollars for a non-technical person to make sure applicants know how to print out a resume, dress in business clothing, drive to their office, and say that they think they are qualified for the job. Maybe that service is worth thousands of dollars; I don't know.

na, unfortunately I have to work in the real work... Xing is a something like a social network for professionals. Especially as a IT professional one has to have an account there. It's pretty popular here for organizing the "official part" of the social networking. It's not free (for real use, you can have a simple account for free) but worth it. regards Torsten

How are Recruitment Agencies in the list? 99% of recruiters: "Do you have X" where X is requirement for job "What is your rate?" if rate <= client pay - recruiter pay then submit The other 1% "What is your rate?" if rate <= client pay - recruiter pay then submit $33,000 dollars to prescreen a candidate is a lot of money. (Estimate based on $50/hr for candidate * 2000 hours with 33% recruiter mark-up (industry standard)) Now if your recruiters make a fixed, $5 per hour that is another story. Put an add in the newspaper with an email address. HotJobs aggegrates newspaper listings (as do others) and go through the résumés. Make a short-list. If you do not have the time or staff hire a consultant to review the short list and tech interview them for a shorter list.
Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost
