[LRUG] [JOB] Rails Developers Wanted

[Andy]

Fair enough criticism ... here's one of the job sites we power, the one
that gives us our brand name --- http://www.jobsgopublic.com/

The other site (no, the mail headers weren't meant to be a test) is the
corporate site, about which the less said the better, probably. Two more

http://powered.jobsgopublic.com/environment-agency

http://www.surreyjobs.info/

all powered by the same app. What viewing those sites won't illustrate is
the  underlying  complexity. Based on client contracts, their jobs go to
one or many sites and outgoing feeds and we have interfaces with other
jobs boards / recruitment management sites, both partners and
external. An I haven't begun to talk about online job application and
talent pools.  'Interesting' is one way to describe it :)
