Hi All
So you don't have to read the rest, its: https://groups.google.com/d/forum/london-scala-jobs
We are slowly getting people wanting to post job ads to the group and there tends to be a tendency to not to have them with normal events and chatter.
What I've done is created a London Scala Job Board (ok, more commonly known as a Google Group) and will start directing anybody who want to post jobs to that group.
Anybody can post, recruiters are welcome and I'll only check first post. Basic rules will be:
- 'Looking for Scala Dev' - I'm very happy
- 'willing to learn scala' - also happy
- 'interested in c#, f#, java, scala, clojure, ruby, forth' - Not so happy
- 'Looking for a c# programmer' - you're looking in the wrong place, delete.
- filling to group with every ad in you database' -- Removed from the list, easy.
If you're looking for work then same applies.
Again, no matter what you think of recruiters (some are nice :-) I think they are part of the scala ecosystem and so should be allowed to post as well.
So if you are looking for a Scala role or want to advertise the join:

I think that is a great idea and I like your idea of having some rules
about the job postings
What about postings that mention a mixture of Scala and Java?
I am sure people here (Some(People) are interested in genuine Scala
opportunities, not the kind tricks of English wording "Experience of
Lisp, Haskell, Scala, Groovy, Clojure and Oberon is desirable, but not
essential"

I think that ads should focus on Scala, explicitly.
If recruiters are willing to aim a certain audience, they should do
their homework and target ads to that audience in particular. I bet
that, when a couple of recruiters become to be more successful than
others, others will start to copy. For the benefit of the community, I
believe that targeted ads are far better than random noise.
>> - 'interested in c#, f#, java, scala, clojure, ruby, forth' - Not so

I would change "not so happy" to "delete with explanation of rules".

Hi Richard
When we get bombarded with 100's of ads a day then we can start and look to be more fussy but until then I don't see the problem of being more relaxed about whats posted. It's up to you what setting you set the group email notification so that is not a problem.
As for 'Scala explicitly' then I personally would not trust a job description what said '100% Scala', so no Bash scripts?, is sql or javascript allowed?, how about java?
I still think that providing that the successful person get to do coding in Scala, some of the time, then that is good. If they are looking for a c# dev then they are in the wrong place, the rest is all a grey area.
And looking through the google group it's not going to take more than 2 seconds to eliminate the ones that you are not interested in.

Hi Andy,
Yes. Makes sense.
I think I'm being too restrictive.
Thanks

Just to prove nothing is easy, this job matches all the requirements '100% Scala' only minimal, or no, Java and not a mention of Clojure but I'm guessing not that interesting to anyone on the list.
If anybody on the group does get the job, please let us all know :-)
