Subject: Re: [dcphp-dev] Re: PHP Developer
To recruiters, and in comment to any emails above, I can really only
give one constructive comment:

Your 100 point checklist is a ridiculously substandard way of finding
a qualified candidate in this industry. This is basically the same
problem as when non-technical people ask technical questions:  You're
asking us to enable a specific path instead of asking how to solve a
problem within specific constraints - which is an engineering
decision, not a management process.

For example:

Bad question: How can I speed up Drupal?
Good question: Why is my Drupal site slow?

Bad question: I need a PHP developer that is also a database expert, a
UI guru, has great communications skills, and knows
Proprietarytechnology 1.0 inside and out.
Good question: I need a PHP developer that will work on developing
applications driven by Oracle database with billions of rows of
records. Additionally, we use Proprietarytechnology 1.0 in the role of
XYZ. Developer's responsibilities will likely include negotiating with
the client for the UI layout also.

It's late, and my example might be a bit obfuscated, but I think you
get my meaning.
