[LRUG] ADVICE

[Sam Joseph]

This email that I just got seems relevant to the current thread on 
recruiters.  I'm sure most of you receive these already, but for those 
of you that don't, I get these cold call emails from recruiters every 
other day or so ...

I notice they are starting to mention github more and more, but the 
recruiter gets my name wrong ... makes me switch off immediately ...

Hi Tom

Came across your profile on a github and was really impressed how 
passionate you are about development. I wanted to speak with you 
regarding some permanent ruby opportunities in London. I have attached 
some job descriptions above with some short descriptions about them 
below. Some of them are lead development positions and the others a bit 
less senior.

Although the majority of them are ruby positions, they will also give 
you the chance to learn Clojure/Haskell too if this would interest you. 
A few of them are already using Amazon AWS and noSQL databases, most 
notably Cassandra and MongoDB.

*uSwitch*- (part of Forward internet group). Leading price comparison 
website, awesome company with amazing offices in Camden*. MongoDB, 
Aamazon S3, TDD*

*Active in Time*- Based in google campus in Moorgate, startup looking 
for a lead developer/future CTO.*MongoDB, BDD, TDD*

*MyMeds&Me*- Pharmaceutical based web app, small company with a very 
fast growing team in Soho (3 ruby hires this year already).

*Keepmebooked*- Booking website working in conjunction with Housetrip, 
startup in Tottenham court road.

*Offside Gaming*-- Gaming company based in central London working in 
ruby on rails and very agile. *Also use Scala, Groovy at same company*

*1minus1*-- Digital agency based in Guildford, just outside of London 
working in Ruby and TDD.

Let me know if any of these interest you, would be keen to see you CV so 
we can discuss things further and find out which of these positions is 
best for you!

Many thanks,

Dom
