Dear All
I got this from someone about a week
back and neglected to post it. :(
Anyway, here goes:
The contact person is: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
his name is Roman
Korchagin
the pay is 100k+
That's all I know...
Here is the speel:
=================================================================================================================================================
There is an agency looking for a
senior developer (actually three) and asking if I know someone good who could be
interested. They want me to do technical testing of the candidate(s).
Here is an excerpt from the job description:
Cheers,
Roman
We definitely still gave three Delphi vacancies to fill (one of our long-standing team members has recently resigned). I understand that there is a shortage of Delphi candidates, and know the recruiters are not at fault. We are in the unfortunate position that we still have to be selective with candidates, as our experience has proven that not doing so leads to difficulties later on (the developer does not master our product well, and the product also suffers). I can therefore only reiterate our requirements on which candidates usually fail.
1. Strong OO experience in a complex application. Math is required but is a lesser requirement. We often find that most of the applicant's experience is in invoicing, data processing, etc. applications, none of which are remotely as complex as our product.
2. The candidate must be a problem-solver "type" / must be able to delve deep into a difficult problem and see it through to its solution. This is often a deciding factor. Indications of these may be found in: if the applicant has had to do design / re-design of the object structure of an application, or who has solved performance issues in an application, or solved difficult problems in an application.
3. Strong communication skills and a team player.
4. Long-term commitment to the role (and they should be directed to our website so that they can find out as much as they can of our product before the interview). The word "focus" comes to my mind - a candidate who is disinterested, or who does not know what their goals, strengths and weaknesses are, do not create a good impression.
I have also found it helpful if the applicant has worked on an application that required a separate QA team and a formal QA procedure - this is just another indication of both the product complexity, and of the software engineering skills of the applicant. Sometimes we are willing to ease of on some requirements if the candidate is very strong in some other areas - at least one candidate could be appointed to work in the quote area of the program, which is somewhat less complex than the "frame" area of the application.
Our ad for this role is as follows:
DELPHI DEVELOPER x3
Are you a logical thinker with a mathematical bent who enjoys challenging work?
Delphi
OO, XML
Mathematical aptitude
My Auckland based client is urgently looking for a strong Delphi developer with CAD or an aptitude for mathematics.
You will be working for a well established software house in a niche market. There is an international flavour to this company which has branches overseas and an enviable position with blue chip clients and a solid customer base.
You may be a talented graduate with lots of potential or an experienced Delphi developer with engineering or mathematical logic. Ideally you will have proven yourself as a quality programmer and thrive on meeting the requirements of our local and international clients. You will require excellent communication skills as you will be dealing directly with our clients.
