There is actually an easy way to fix this problem. At a previous company,
when I needed someone to work under me, the HR person asked ME to
write the skills description precisely so she would pay for an ad asking for
contradictory information. You would be pleasantly surprised at the
percentage of applicants who actually fit the requirements and salary range
when you let someone in IT write the job description.

Alright, I'm getting a little frustrated with Human Resources type in
the IT field. Is there any one way to please the majority of these
folks?
I see some things that to me are strange.
"Wanted ColdFusion/ASP developer"
Why? Why would you need a person to do both? If you are using
ColdFusion what do you need ASP for? (This is a rhetorical question. I
have heard all the responses and not one was really valid.)
"Junior CF Developer - Must have B.Sc. 3 years CF experience yadda
yadda"
What's junior about this? This is like saying "Triple A baseball
pitcher needed, must throw like Randy Johnson and have had 3 years in
the majors."
HR - "So what's your minimum required salary?"
Me - "Well about $X."
HR - "That's too low, I don't think you're experienced enough for the
position."
What the heck? Just because I don't over inflate my worth means I
don't know how to do the job? What's up with that?
Next time I'm asking for a hundred grand just to see my resume...then
they will think I am the master right away.
Just rambling and griping in good fun...
