Web Developers Needed Urgently

[stricken]

You're both currently acting like creepy old men with no candy. If you want the kiddies to get into the car , you better come up with something sweeter than a leer and a croaky voiced invitation.

the problem is that generally good developers have more neurons than recruitment agents which are in turn hiring for someone with even more neurons. so its kind of a lost cause. you can scrape by hiring 20K a month technical debt with cool t-shirts, but hooking the R100k a month polyglot with a f#$n horn growing out of his forehead, well, i dont know... candy? (read : free laptops and signing bonuses)

so its not really so much the agent, as it is the company expecting a fillet steak for the price of a yam, not even bothering to sweeten the deal with sauce, or garnish. nothing.

so frankly, the whole situation is hopeless.

Meh - what would interest me more as a developer is more insight into the types of problems that the company is currently tackling, and the areas the company is working towards (technically speaking). Also team composition - who I'd be working with on a day to day basis. An indication of salary would be good e.g. between x and y per month. If the company serves a good cause, that's the garnish.

This talk of perks, free laptops and signing bonuses and little extras to sweeten the deal comes off as bull**** to me.

Our company is looking for web developers from junior level through to senior levels.
SharePoint experience is a advantage but not a requirement.

Company is based in Sandton.
Drop me a pm for more info.



Obviously the above is relevant for a more senior position but as indicated we are looking for juniors or people with less experience as well.

Salary??? **** off.

That is guaranteed to get you employees.

Let's say you work 6 days a week. That's 13h20, a day, factor in 6 hours sleep, 30 mins to get ready in the morning, 1 hour to work, 1 hour back, That leaves you with 2 hours for making dinner and spending time with the kids each day (probably at like 23:30). Essentially you are a slave, except Sundays, where you get to fix the gate, or do that maintenance you've been meaning to do etc.

Don't know about you but this screams more of exceptionally poor time management, or someone that doesn't know how to delegate work to others correctly, or someone that can't let go and wants to do everything themselves; great route to early heart attack.

Either way, do not want, and don't have to have, because I work for reasonable people.

+1 to this. Either he is lying and doesn't work 80 hours a day, or is telling the truth and believes it is something to brag about. Either way, doesn't inspire confidence.

This thread is absolutely a small retrospect of the South African job market. There is jobs to be done and in many professions not many people to do these jobs but the employer's mentality in this country is always to get a person he can exploit the most.

The job listing has a great laundry list of demands but does not even bother to even give a rough estimate of remuneration. This employer simply comes of as selfish. It gives no indication of salary. It also gives no hint at what type of business this is or any indication of corporate culture.

People do not often leave there jobs for worst ones in this country and this ad does very little to convince you that this job will be better than the one you most probably already have.

You have to sell the job like you are selling something on an tv advertisement.

While I agree with everything else the bolded part I do not. I'm very much led to believe that the corporate culture is along the lines of "Work Slave!"
