I see that you posted it to Rubyjobs.ie but its always best to announce the job on the mailing list also (the ruby ireland mailing list is perfectly fine with relevant ruby jobs being posted to the mailing list). There is a worldwide shortage of Ruby developers - Ireland is no exception. The problem in Ireland is that there is too little Ruby work there to keep anyone who expects to derive their livelihood from programming it. So most experienced Ruby developers in Ireland relocate where the work is more lucrative, and anyone who gets a 9-5 Ruby job tends to stay put. The remaining Ruby developers tend to be newbies and polyglots, for whom Ruby work tends to be either testing, deployment, builds, automation etc. as part of their usual Java/.Net/PHP work. Those developers tend not to tick the required experience boxes on most job postings. So your best bet is to post directly to the mailing list, and I would also recommend posting to the London Ruby User Group mailing list. There are probably more Irish Ruby programmers in London than there are in Dublin, and some may want to relocate back. regards, Richard On Sun, Oct 16, 2011 at 12:01 PM, Antonio Ruzzelli < antonio.ruzzelli@wattics.com> wrote: > Thanks Richard, > I did post it but it seems currently there is a shortage of Ruby > developers in Ireland. > > We need to look for good Ruby people that are willing to relocate. > Luckily Ryanair is still providing cheap flights and Dublin is a cool > place to stay. > > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > -- http://richardconroy.blogspot.com | http://twitter.com/RichardConroy --001636d34cd29b415204af6aeed2--
