Hi Carol and Andrej I talked to a guy like this this week but he'd only been here 8 weeks. I suggested he contact you guys via the CS website/forum, also Michael Miller. I also said much the same as Andrej (but without your great numbers). It seems people advertise when there's a statutory need to do so or the company is specifically looking for overseas recruits.
ICT is such a wide field now - do we know which skills are in scarce supply? It seems to me the Poly's are turning out 'website developers' a dime a dozen. Are these really scarce skills? I know there's a shortage of imbedded code developers and hardware/software overlap people. What else?
