Hi Jeff, we have been looking for a Junior to intermediate or a developer looking to make the technology jump - given the right candidate we could be flexible.

Thank you,

Ryan

Hi all, any advice on finding a developer when I’m not a recruitment agent and trying to avoid using one?  I’m looking for someone to join me and help start an onshore team, I’m an ex Microsoft developer, jumped to Rails a little while ago. I know Manchester is a Hot spot and obviously London, but I’m struggling to find anyone closer by like Sheffield, Leeds, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Barnsley etc.

I was looking junior to intermediate, but now realise i need more experienced so intermediate to senior.

I have posted here, NWRug and joined the Ruby Jobs group on Linked in...aside form Agents and contractors, very little so far.

Thank you

Hi Ryan,

It seems it's still a competitive market for Ruby developers. What are you offering that others aren't to set yourself apart?

[Ryan Hobson]

Thanks James, your right, perhaps i should express more on the job add.  At the risk of sounding evangelical...

I want to achieve change in the UK property market, I want to improve the experience of buying or selling a property (if possible down to the man on the street)..there are more lofty goals i know :-) but its positive.

The role would be a nice fresh fresh start, chance to implement everything learned so far by becoming our uk rails guru, help mould our environment (and teach me rails correctly!). You'd be hard pushed to walk around the office here and find anyone negative about the company, its friendly (jokey) and importantly, understanding.  

I feel its a strong opportunity - one i would have loved as a pure dev..

For anyone interested, I have the nod for around a 45k salary - looking for intermediate+ RoR developer.  Drop me an email if interested.  Thank you.
