I just like to say "I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks like this about IT recruitment agencies"...
My experience with IT agencies is pretty lousy, they have no idea what they are talking about or what their client really needs.

Steve,
 
This ad is how you can tell if it was placed by a recruiting parasite, oops I mean recruiting agency. They have no idea what these technologies are and are parroting something they read elsewhere. I am surprised they do not have fortran, dos and abacus experience would be an asset.
 
Basically if you were a company looking for a Cold Fusion developer who would you hire? The person that says on their resume, I am a cold fusion developer with these RELATED skills and that's all I do and do well. Or the developer that lists everything because they had the tools installed on their computer for 2 years, therefore having 2 years experience with all of them. I actually saw an ad published looking for an ASP.NET developer with 2 years experience. Hmmm, how long has it been out now?
 
I just don't get some of these requirements. I know some pretty hot developers that you could classify as geniuses and they would not know all of these things.
 
The moral of the story, stay away from recruiting agencies as you will never come up to their standards. Ben Forta would probably get knocked back from this job with the reason you do not have enough experience in all the required skills.
 
Damn, I knew I shouldn't have replied to this, now I have gotten started!!!!! I'm not bitter, really I'm not :)

Hey guys
 
Just curious about something.  Just saw an add for a web developer position and this is what they required.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
� Experiences in all of the following technologies are ideally required:
HTML, DHTML, CCS, ASP or ASP.Net, Cold Fusion (4.5 or later), ADO (2.1 or later), Transact SQL, VB or VB.Net, VBA and Win32 API.
� Experience in Java, VC++ or C#, VJ++ of J# is highly desirable.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Does anyone on this list know all of this stuff?
 
I would expect that people would have knowledge of about half of whats listed.
 

Regards
