| paultag | so, thafreak | 18:31 |
| thafreak | I'm strongly considering getting into the recruiting game | 18:31 |
| * paultag ducks out | 18:32 | |
| Unit193 | paultag: You're not Ohio, you're somewhere else ;) | 18:32 |
| paultag | :) | 18:32 |
| thafreak | Exactly...everyone hates recruiters... | 18:32 |
| thafreak | so i want to do it better | 18:32 |
| paultag | thafreak: good luck, man | 18:33 |
| paultag | it's tough | 18:33 |
| thafreak | is anything not tough? | 18:35 |
| paultag | http://shortyawards.com/sunfoundation#/vote <- give us some love, please (some hot twitter action would be ♥ ) | 18:36 |
| paultag | thafreak: that's true | 18:36 |
| paultag | thafreak: count it. | 18:45 |
| thafreak | count what? | 18:49 |
| paultag | thafreak: your vote, it was silly and awesome. | 18:49 |
| thafreak | gotcha ;) | 18:49 |
| paultag | thafreak: RE: recruiting: yeah, it's going to be super tough | 18:50 |
| paultag | the only way is if you can somehow become ohio's f/oss / linux-ey folks | 18:50 |
| paultag | place pythonic and c/c++ into f/oss spots | 18:50 |
| paultag | everything else is *fucked* right now | 18:50 |
| thafreak | well, all the recruiters contact me anyway anytime a linux job opens up | 18:51 |
| paultag | yeah, hum. | 18:51 |
| thafreak | I'm also thinking of training future linux admins...then recruiting them out | 18:52 |
| thafreak | once they pass my tests | 18:52 |
| paultag | sysadmin bootcamp of sorts | 18:52 |
| thafreak | word | 18:52 |
| thafreak | so i don't try to make money off them learning, since i will hopefully get a payday once I place them | 18:52 |
| thafreak | soooooo | 18:54 |
| thafreak | Another question for my technically advanced friends here | 18:55 |
| thafreak | would you prefer a recruiter like me, who has done many of the jobs you are being recruited for... | 18:55 |
| thafreak | or some one who just switched to recuiting IT after having recruited for say, accounting the year before (i.e. 0 technical knowledge) | 18:56 |
| canthus13 | It'd be nice to have someone who knows what they're talking about. Last recruiter I talked to called me for an entry-level VoIP engineer position, which I was interested in. The guy interviewing me wanted an SS7/VoIP guru with additional exchange experience. :/ | 21:09 |
| dzho | yeah, doesn't sound very entry-level | 21:10 |
| dzho | "we want guru experience, but only want to pay entry-level wages/salary" | 21:11 |
| dzho | which sounds about right, overall | 21:11 |
| canthus13 | Oh no. they weren't even wanting to pay that. the recruiter was just an idiot. | 21:13 |
| canthus13 | I'm sure the company would have paid top dollar. | 21:14 |
| canthus13 | the guy doing the actual interviewing was talking 80k. | 21:14 |
| canthus13 | (Odd to talk money during the first interview, but I got the feeling they were in a pinch) | 21:14 |
| thafreak | yeah, it was kind of a rhetorical question anyway ;) | 21:20 |
| thafreak | I want to see client's places and how employees are treated before I recruit... | 21:20 |
| thafreak | I'm not a pimp | 21:21 |
| canthus13 | good. I hate getting slapped around and hooked on crack. :/ | 21:27 |
| thafreak | jackson: where you from? | 23:05 |
| thafreak | only a few places in ohio have armstrong...you wouldn't be up in the medina area would you? | 23:06 |
| canthus13 | thafreak: About that pimping, though... Feel free to pimp me out to anywhere in NEO. :) | 23:07 |
