I'm not trying to be a heckler here but I see some serious problems with this ad.

I'm pretty sure even entry level programmer positions are going for a minimum $25 per hour most places in Utah. The person you are looking for will probably need at least 2x what you are offering. Furthermore, if you do hire someone that cheaply, I can pretty much guarantee you you won't remain the global leader in anything other than maybe product returns. Again, I'm not trying to sound like a jerk but the job description is vague, the requirements unclear and the pay seems well below the market average for entry level. If you can clear any or all of these up you'll find better qualified candidates much quicker. Anyone else feel the same way? /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
