    Hi folks

    I have deleted the details of the three people who replied with web links of their companies in the thread. First of all it breaks our site rules, and secondly shows you didn't read the post properly. Neither particularly impressive parts of applying for work.

    Though I have deliberately not kept your contacts so if you'd like to apply through the link above i won't hold it against you :)

  • Oh, that's a shame the last post was deleted. I found it quite amusing- never posted on the site before and then had lots of spelling mistakes in it!

    :rotfl: at Martin's post, in the middle of shortlisting at work and frankly gob-smacked at the lack of attention to detail shown by some applicants!

    Back on topic: is this likely to be an ongoing need? Or just a short-term thing?
    Signature removed for peace of mind
  • as this site is all about saving money... is this site built on a open source CMS so that your costs are minimized?

    was concerned as you mentioned "producing high quality applications and tools" ... and would have thought a open source CMS with a few plugins "here and there" would probably meet 99% of your requirements.
