Editor's Notes
- #8 It is a candidate driven market – ref back , candidates are looking for a full packeage , looking at other benefits list opsview, give examples , technical challenged
- #9 Attending events – put in touch – If you want more information please come see me after , many people make the mistake of thinking its just about the CV, what do I look for in a good candidate , look at evidence , CPAN etc active in community So to stand out as a candidate you need to ensure you consider how you present yourself across all these areas. Clients looking to attract the best candidates should be assessing candidates across all these areas and not just
- #10 Examples
- #11 Services Sector – We even seeing greenfield projects , tech is ever change Technology is dynamic and continuously evolving so there will always be an element of movement and migration from/to different technology
