They have been seeing candidates who have more architectural knowledge or ETL, rather than development. Secondly, these are some trade-offs/preferences appropriate for these postings. If there are other areas where your team sees the opportunity for trade-offs, please let me know. 1. *Prefer candidates with strong advanced Java skills, rather than intermediate-level candidates with a diversified skill set.* 2. *Candidates do not need to have management or people leader experience.* Leadership can take many forms -- if he or she is a strong individual contributor, their technical skills will help them lead by example *Thanks and Regards* *Vikas Gupta* *Sr. Technical Recruiter* *Srimatrix Inc.* Direct: 4692098270 vi...@srimatrix.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "American Vendor--IT Consulting" group.
