Following are some guidelines which may or may not prove useful when
sending job offers to a technology oriented crowd:
1) Please specify a full name in the From: header. People find it dubious
when a potential employer identifies himself only using his first name.
2) Trim down the subject. You don't need to specify the job requirements
in the header; a subject saying "Job Offer" should be good enough.
3) Don't phrase the job requirements like cheesy spam. Indicating what
is required from the prospective employee in the form of questions
sounds foreboding and somewhat ridiculous.
4) Make sure your website is not cluttered with buzzwords and lacking in
content. Reading the description of your product, I was only able to
get a very vague idea as to the purpose of your work.
Since post job offers has become common place on this list, the above
guidelines may be useful to other potential employers.
