As a UI/UX recruiter I am open to a separated section of the website specifically for specialty positions. Additionally, I would like the ability to remove postings once the job is filled. I appreciate this forum and it is one of the greatest pools of talent for my niche but I understand the

For those folks who are arguing for job postings because they find them valuable...in no way am I saying they aren't valuable. I'm just saying they don't belong on a discussion list, especially posts from recruiters. I'm sure there is no reason why you couldn't subscribe to a job posting list,

Ok, I just received the 2nd recruitment email for exactly the same job from exactly the same recruitment agency. I'm all for getting IxDAers jobs (who wouldn't be), but I'm not convinced that recruiters should be able to post to the list. Also, there is a difference between a company

Hi Josh, I hope you're not talking about my posts? Sorry if you are, the first post didn't display so I left a note and reposted. I can assure you I am advertising the role from my digital agency (it is actually to replace me) and I am an active member of the boards. I just thought I would jump

No, in particular I was referring to the job posted by both Heidi Raynor and Alex Call for the Senior UX designer in Seattle. Fine people, I'm sure, but redundant posts on a list in which a single post shouldn't be here in the first place. On Sep 18, 2009, at 2:13 AM, Kevin Rapley wrote:

Your Point #3 also implies that recruiters will be posting jobs. ...Of course, you are encouraged to reply privately to any job ads posted by members who are hiring. I agree with redundant redundancy being annoying, but the jobs themselves are outright allowed. Not a Board Member, Scott On Fri,

Good points, Josh. I agree, and there's plenty of room for improvement on this topic. A scrappy way to circumvent the problem in the mean time could be to create a rule in your mail app that archives emails from IxDA with [Job] in the headline. Jason R. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Hi folks, The new Conan system website is going to provide a stand-alone Job Board!! :) Right now, job posts are definitely noise amid the discussion for those uninterested in opportunities, but note that we explicitly allow recruiters to post. They are moderated just like other posters,

Hopefully the job board will have job search agents and email notifications. Otherwise, a great deal of utility will be taken away from me (someone who is primarily here to learn and share but who is happy to see the job alerts) if I have to go somewhere every day to check listings rather

I do have a trivial concern about job postings. I often read the IxDA discussions when at work, sometimes for learning, other times for inspiration etc. But sometimes, when there are a load of job ads, my bosses must think that I'm looking for a new position! :-D . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
