I realize that the Rails list has historically been open to job postings, and I generally think that's a good idea. Recently, though, there have been several posts by third-party recruiters and recruitment firms. My experience with third-party recruiters has been pretty mediocre, and none of the employers I've ever had were interested in hiring through them. There are also plenty of stories on the web describing third-party recruiters as liars or worse.
Even without that background, though, I've noticed that job notices from employers themselves make an effort to be informative and to attract quality candidates, notices from third-party recruiters are usually nothing more than anonymized copy and paste from some job website. I propose that we, as a community, consider this list closed to third-party recruiters while continuing to welcome job notices from direct employers. Job notices are always noise here, as opposed to the signal of technical discussion of Rails, but those from third-party recruiters are actively unpleasant and largely useless noise in a way in which direct employer notices are not. --Greg --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
