Re: Experienced ASP.NET Developer in Minneapolis

I agree. I have hired two people in the passed two months and its really not
that difficult to find qualified people. All you need to do is post to a few
of the lists out there and be clear on what you are looking for. Sure you
will get some who are not qualified (some what so ever), but these are
usually obvious by searching the resume for key words and based on that you
will know immediately.  I also google people quite often, which usually
provides the "maker or beaker" decision.  For me personally, I would rather
spend a few extra minutes up front to avoid some times ludicrous markups
that recruiters would add onto it. This is also necessary sometimes when
getting resumes from recruiters.  I think you also get better service when
going direct because the developer has more incentive to make a better
impression.

Lastly, it always brightens my day when I get a call from a recruiter trying
to fill a position doing “Sequel” and ASP.Net programming and they have no
clue that asp.net is not a programming language, and are clueless on what
“Sequal” is.

I think recruiters need to realize that these days they are not as valuable
as they used to be.  Sure there are some big companies that are set in there
ways and won’t do business unless its through one of their “preferred
vendors” but being a consultant working for one of these at one point, they
really aren’t getting much other then some insurance which anyone can get
these days.

Just my two cents.....
