Is this for real?

This is exactly how to hire the right people.

If it's for real, I have a job now.

Unless the position is already filled, it should be real

[link|http://jobs.perl.org/|http://jobs.perl.org/] is a job board for Perl people. The jobs require Perl knowledge, the people interviewing can be expected to aggressively filter out unqualified people aggressively, and it is known as a good way to find decent Perl people.

Factors that make this work. Any Perl person who is "involved in the community" will know about this site. HR drones do not. Most others do not. The remit is fairly focused, keeping the profile low.

Cheers,
Ben

Maybe I do, maybe I don't - (orion) - (33) - March 24, 2004, 10:21:51 AM EST

If you think that you qualify... - (ben_tilly) - (8) - March 24, 2004, 11:04:14 AM EST

Why be proven wrong when you don't have to? -NT - (mmoffitt) - March 24, 2004, 11:08:07 AM EST

I have to do something first - (orion) - (6) - March 24, 2004, 05:04:43 PM EST

Let's just say this - (ben_tilly) - (5) - March 24, 2004, 05:22:10 PM EST

You may be right - (orion) - (4) - March 24, 2004, 07:54:06 PM EST

Not odd at all - (ben_tilly) - (3) - March 24, 2004, 09:32:51 PM EST

I may have had them at one time or thought I did - (orion) - (2) - March 24, 2004, 11:48:33 PM EST

Your confidence level is your problem. - (ben_tilly) - (1) - March 25, 2004, 02:34:24 PM EST

Not my only problem - (orion) - March 25, 2004, 06:46:49 PM EST

Do you know how to obtain your SSH key? - (pwhysall) - (1) - March 24, 2004, 11:51:29 AM EST

You've googled. - (pwhysall) - (16) - March 24, 2004, 05:48:12 PM EST

So you say - (orion) - (13) - March 24, 2004, 07:57:58 PM EST

In that, you're almost definitely wrong - (ben_tilly) - (6) - March 24, 2004, 09:26:27 PM EST

actually you can do both - (boxley) - (3) - March 24, 2004, 09:30:18 PM EST

I was wondering about that... - (ben_tilly) - (1) - March 24, 2004, 09:36:54 PM EST

I should have been more specific. - (pwhysall) - March 25, 2004, 01:57:09 AM EST

PAM does that too, IIRC - (admin) - March 24, 2004, 10:50:56 PM EST

That is the way I do things - (orion) - March 24, 2004, 11:55:04 PM EST

There are ways to actually have both. - (folkert) - March 25, 2004, 08:22:18 PM EST

Actually you are correct. - (folkert) - (1) - March 25, 2004, 08:30:20 PM EST
