One way to crack a coder shortage
(sticK - 17 May 2013 ) Ever tried to get hold of a professional who can write computer code?
Such is the shortage, that a recent would-be returning ex-pat Kiwi, who knew how to program, put out a general inquiry through WellRailed if anyone in Wellington or wider NZ would be interested in meeting once he got here.
Apparently he immediately had 26 replies, and half a dozen offers of employment, sight unseen, with no interview whatsoever.
