Recruiting via Alt.Net.UK - thoughts?

[Dylan Beattie]

Hi,

 

I'm wondering what people's thoughts are on recruiting / job-hunting through this list and the community in general.

 

Is posting legitimate job openings to this list generally OK? Would people be interested in knowing who's hiring, or should the altnetuk-discuss list be for discussion only?

 

RSVP...

Hi,

 

I am very interested in people’s thoughts on this as well, for me the key thing if people are happy with it would be keeping it closed to direct companies rather than agencies getting in on the act.

 

Thanks

I think that it's legit, as long as the useful/recruitment messages ratio is been kept as not to drive people away.

I get contacted by recruiters through many different channels. Can we
restrict it to job vacancies that are *relevant* (agile requirements etc).

Only for MonoRail/AspView vacancies ...

now seriously, I believe that the people here won't post jobs that they think are irrelevant.
The power of the group is in it's members, that's why great jobs would be posted, to attract great people.

altnetpedia has a job listying page, doesn't it? perhaps there would be a better place..

I’m sorry if my job post triggered that email.

 

That said, while the website is useful, I think if job postings are targeted and within the scope of the discussion, and from people we’re used to see messages from, then it would be fine. I’d rather get my next contract through this list and followers of alt.net discussions than going through yet another agency that will charge an awful amount of money for selecting a few cvs they don’t understand.

All,

I take the view that if someone *who we know* says "hey guys, we're
looking for {insert job appropriate for this list here} - know anyone
good?" then that's fine (so Seb's post didn't bother me).

But if strangers turn up on the list posting jobs then I'm likely to
wield the admin hammer.

Seems a sensible to me - I trust those that I know not to abuse that trust.

Thoughts?

Alan

[Ken Egozi]

agree

[Andrew Myhre]

Yup I agree also.
Partly because we're looking for a developer to start from Feb 25. :)

Well, from a practical point of view, anyone configured as an
administrator of this group I suppose.

Alan

[Ken Egozi]

hmm. I think John's question was aimed at Andrew.

[Symon Rottem]

Agreed.

I'd rather not pollute a location that provides us with a good forum
for discussing issues with job listings - it would make more sense to
use another location for that. I'm all for having a well-known
location for job listings for this community though.

Symon.
