[LRUG] [JOBS] 6 months + Ruby on Rails in the Netherlands

Wed Apr 3 09:24:09 PDT 2013

Hi Louis,

In response to this e-mail, you may or may not know but the Kernel Mag is actually shutting down and this article is in the process of being removed. This is off the back of a lot of rogue journalism coupled with the fact that we also took legal action against the publisher. The writer involved is also facing criminal prosecution. The article is totally inaccurate, malicious and unfounded.

I'm not one to advocate mudslinging and it is not something I like to get involved in but I am happy to reply and put the facts out there although it is shame I need to do so. I understand that successful and growing companies are often subjected to articles and taunts such as these. Most of the people reading this will know others like to knock competitors or companies gaining success.

I would ask you just to consider that the people who know ConSol know that we do not operate this way. For this reason we have repeat business year on year, have worked closely with the same network of candidates for many years, have great staff retention and received industry recognition off the back of our work.

For example we are the fastest growing tech recruiter in the UK (as listed by Sunday Times in Dec 2012)  and have been nominated for numerous awards including Best Specialist Recruiter (Global Recruiter Magazine) and IT Recruiter of the Year (Recruiter Awards for Excellence) and Best Company to work for.

This is off the back of exceptional reviews from clients and candidates.

I do apologise to those reading this that have no interest in recruiters, but I wanted to reply for those that do care and have worked with me/Consol in the past, or had planned on doing so.

Thanks,
Lauren

Hi Guys,

Recruiter alert

I am looking for a number of Ruby on Rails developers in the Netherlands! The project is working on high complex government projects. I am looking for developers from Mid-Senior level (I know it's an awful term to use). The work is all on site so there is no remote options!

This role is paid on an hourly rate - DOE

Duration: 6+ intervals - long term project of a few years.

Location: Netherlands (On site)

Language: Dutch or Fluent English (either)

Unfortunately they cannot provide Visas currently, but will consider EU nationals.

Skillset:

*         Solid Ruby on rails experience, they are currently working with versions 2 and 3. Migration involved.

*         Web technologies HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

*         Good  experience with Test Driven Development, Behaviour-Driven Development (RSpec and Cucumber) and Agile/Scrum.

*         Bonus: Any experience with security encryption or authentications would be particularly helpful.

E-mail me if you are interested in finding out more information about the position, they are offering staggered start dates so immediately available, or within a month or two is also viable.

Regards,
Lauren Dubery
