[LRUG] [JOBS] Ruby on Rails Developer - 6month contract - STARTING ASAP

Mon Mar 12 08:15:25 PDT 2012

Exactly. As a recruitment consultant, I won’t post the company I’m working with unless I am working exclusively on a role, because if someone applies directly to them I get nothing for passing on the information about it and having them get the job. Perhaps we could come to some sort of gentlemen’s agreement of giving the company name in the first instance someone contacts you, since you would then already have their details to confirm your interaction with them?

Just a thought.

I had the same thought a couple of weeks ago, and it is a lot of fun...

I'm just a little concerned that we're just encouraging recruiters to post even vaguer descriptions....

I was wondering only this morning if we could address this by guessing
the name of the company when an advert came through. I know at least
60% of the time who it is, and if the convention was to reveal the
name, maybe recruiters would learn(!) to not post ads without company
names?

Cheers,

Sam

At the risk of opening this can of worms again, can we not do
something about these vague recruiter job descriptions? They seem to
be more prevalent over the past month or so. The previous discussion
seemed to be heavily biased against having recruiters post at all; the
posting guidelines (http://lrug.org/posting-jobs) seem pretty clear
about not posting job adverts like the one below, which tell me
absolutely nothing about the company.

My vote would be a warning followed by banning from the list for
people who blatantly ignore these guidelines if this is not too much
work to administer. To be clear, I'm not against job postings, I'm
against postings like the one below.

Thoughts?
