Hmm. Maybe my intentions weren't very clear at the beginning since
I've gotten this kind of question a few times. I was envisioning a
page directed at employers and recruiters, not directed at group
members or job hunters. Here's why:

Sometimes, recruiters or employers email me to ask me how they can
notify the group of a new job opening. I tell them to send me the
description and then I send it along to the list. I believe that they
have gotten my email address from the kc.pm.org website.

To ease the process, I thought I would make a page on kc.pm.org
directed at employers and recruiters. It would tell them to use
jobs.perl.org or to email job descriptions to one of us to pass along
to the group.

I put a few minutes into this page: http://kc.pm.org/jobpostings.shtml
and may link to it from the rest of the site if it seems appropriate
to the gang.

The way that the "straw poll" is going means this is a growing
likelyhood.

Holler with any suggestions.
