[Discuss] Testing list

2011-08-02 Thread Jerry Feldman
The list has been quiet the past couple of days. Not sure if the list is
working since I restored it from the original Pegasus database files.

[Discuss] BLU Job Posting Policy

2011-08-02 Thread Tom Metro
The BLU job posting policy:
http://blu.wikispaces.com/job+posting+policy

lists these requirements:

  All positions offered must be for jobs that require proficiency in
  Linux or UNIX and which can be performed by employees located in the
  Boston area. Please include at least the following:

   1. Required skill-set.
   2. Contract or permanent position?
   3. Pay range and incentives.
   4. Placement through a recruiter, or directly with the company? If
  you are a recruiter or search firm, you must say so.
   5. Location: include the City or Town where the applicant will be
  working, and if there is access to public transportation, please
  mention it.
   6. Whether telecommuting is available, and if it is, what percentage
  of the work week may be fulfilled offsite.
   7. Company's product or service.

Are there any changes we want to make to this list?

Should approval of the posting be on an all-or-nothing basis, or should
this list be ordered from must-have to nice-to-have?

I've rejected a several postings for lacking #3. Most don't address #2,
#4, #5, or #6 explicitly, though it is often fairly easy to infer the
answers.

Ideally, I'd like to have these postings supplied through a form, so
they are prompted to supply all the required elements. (Anyone with some
time on their hands want to build such a form? I looked at a few
outsourced services to see if there was something quick and cheap, but
none were capable of sending a custom formatted email in response to
each form submission.)
