I agree completely, but I'm fairly certain our policy is not to post salary ranges. I'll bring that up with management and see if they're willing to post it. I know they have a range in mind, but I also know we've been willing to go above and beyond that range as needed if we find the right candidate. Its also a bit complicated by the fact that we're looking in multiple regions. We could hire this position in two or three offices with widely variant cost of living, and we pay accordingly. We'd prefer to hire the position in Pittsburgh, PA, as thats pretty much the IT headquarters, but if we were to hire in another office we'd pay more. > >> Where do you post position announcements for senior technical >> positions? > > Craigslist has pretty much taken over as THE place to post/look for jobs > around > my neck of the woods. Hmm. I might go post the job on craigslist myself, since there is a referral bonus if an existing employee finds the candidate we hire. :) -David _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
