Ajay Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Hi everyone,As many of you know, I work at a software development/professional services company in Sydney. Over the past 6 months, I've managed to find roles for a few people from the forum (and some not on the forum ) with the company. My boss has been so impressed with the SAffers that I've recruited that he's decided that we need to get over there and find some more! So, we are planning a recruitment trip to JHB (sorry - not going elsewhere ) around February / March timeframe. At this stage, I'm not sure who'll be there, but I wanted to give you all advance warning of this opportunity.We are an approved business sponsor, so successful candidates will be sponsored on a 457 visa, and the company will sponsor PR after 2 years service. This is a really, really awesome opportunity for anyone that has the right skills and attitude and that is serious about relocating. The kinds of skills we will be looking for includes developers and architects with two or more of the technologies listed below. For visa purposes, you'll need either a degree plus 1 year experience, or else a minimum of 3 years experience (in the absense of a tertiary qualification). Ideally, we are looking for people with at least 2 years commercial experience, but we will judge each application on merit!Java, J2EE, XML, EJB, , Ant, Struts, Swing, Eclipse, Spring, Spring MVC, Portlet, Tapestry, Hibernate, Tomcat, Apache, Junit, Axis2, JSF, Weblogic, WebSphere, IBM Process Server, webMethods, TIBCO, Agile, RUP, Web Services, etc.If you meet these requirements, please get in touch with me via PM and I will give you an email address to use to send me your CV. I'm planning on running an ad in the Sunday Times and online in a few weeks,but want to give you guys the first bite at the cherry! Looking forward to getting some responses!CheersAjay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rialet Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Hi AjayWow this really sounds great!!! We have also recently advertised in the Sunday Times and had a couple of good responses - especially our Sydney office. Do you have contact details for placing job ads in Sunday Times? If not just pm me and I can foward it to you. They pretty expensive though - for the first ad we wanted to place they quoted us around R 80 000!!!!!!!!!! Our State Director almost had a heart attack. Maybe you guys should maybe try Rapport as well (I personally believe that the quality of candidates might be better - we received a lot of applications from Zim).CheersRialet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsteyn Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Hi allAre you recruiting only for Sydney? Please can you tell us what we need to do to get into contact with to get considered for an interview?CheersRudi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajay Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Hi Jacques,I've already submitted your stuff (hope you don't mind ) I'll be getting back to you shortly. We're still really a Java based shop, but you never know....leave it with me.Hi Rudi,I will PM you with an email address for you to send your resume to me. We've got offices in Sydney and Melbourne, so will be recruiting for both those sites. We're also looking for PM's for a big Singapore project that we've won, but I didn't think this was the best place to advertise that If you know of any senior PM's with software dev experience and knowledge of investment / merchant banking, let me know!I'll be in JHB in March sometime to interview (unless we get such a good response that we are able to interview and recruit telephonically), so you don't need to contact anyone else at this stage for these positions.CheersAjay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
