Where do c#.net developers find jobs?

[moneydashboard]

I was wondering if I could get some feedback. As part of a new
silverlight project that we have started we are looking for a c#.net
developer to join the team. I'm trying to find out where people look
for jobs to try and avoid getting involved, at this point, with
recruitment agencies. Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers,

James

Hello James,

Joel Spolsky wrote an article on his blog about some approaches to
hiring great developers.

http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/FindingGreatDevelopers.html

He has a great book out as well called More Joel on Software thats
worth a read.

I understand your reasons for not wanting to use agencies. Recently I
had an agency nipping my ear to go for an interview for a once in a
lifetime career oppertunity so I agreed even though I had no
information AT ALL about the job; just some generic specification with
things like 'good communication skills' written on it. Turned up at
the company in question 9am sharp just to find out they had no idea I
was meant to be there. Waste of time.


The agency was Quantium People so stay away from them for anyone who
is reading.

If a job advert/specification is coming directly from the hiring company
(i.e. the employer) you can send an email to sup...@scottishdevelopers.com
and we'll put it up on our website for free.

We don't carry adverts from recruitment agencies unless they are paying for
the service.

I've been in a situation like that too. It is most embarrassing to turn up
and the person that is supposed to be interviewing you isn't even in the
office.
