Hi guys, Apologies for cross posting to both lists as I know a lot of you are on both.
The guys at On the Beach want to expand some more and have mined the available Rails dev pool for the moment - here is the mail verbatim from their CTO. > As you know we are trying to recruit more developers. We have a massively > ambitious plan to deliver and we need to grow our team to suit. As you also > know, it is very difficult to find good Ruby people. As a result, what I am > planning to do is find as many experienced Ruby devs as possible but also to > "grow our own". To do this I want to find and recruit up to 8 non-Ruby > developers. They will need to be very bright, enthusiastic and eager to learn > new skills. They will also need to be extremely good web developers already > in another language such as .Net, Java, PHP, Perl etc. Ideally I would like > them to have a demonstrable track record in delivering commercial web > solutions. > I am going to arrange what we are going to call our "Ruby Academy". This will > involve a mix of activities including classroom based training, mentoring, > out of hours assignments etc all designed to bring our new devs up to speed > and make the productive Ruby developers. A key part of this will be that we > will pair the new people with our existing experienced Ruby devs so that they > can learn and be mentored for ongoing development. I will need you all to > help with this and we will provide you with more guidance on what will be > required nearer the time. > For now I have a different request for you... Do you know anyone that you > would like to recommend for our Ruby Academy? They would need to be of the > right calibre - very bright, a good cultural fit, solid web development > skills etc. You will receive a bounty if we take them on. If you know of > anyone, come and see Colin, Paul J, Matt, Anna or me for a chat. We want to > hear from you! > Obviously the same applies for experienced Ruby devs as well. Please contact the CTO, Jonathan Smith [email protected] if you'd like more information.
