Message-ID: <514BB93A.6040501@babyl.dyndns.org> Fyi: Booking.com[1] is hiring something fierce. They poked me as the Ottawa.pm master herder as told me to relay the following: Booking.com is the #1 online hotel reservations company in the world and we are part of the Priceline Group[2]. Due to the rapid growth of our online business we are now recruiting for 25 Perl Developers to join our office in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Please spread the word among your group members and feel free to contact me in case of any upcoming local Perl events and how we might be able to sponsor you. Here is some info you can share with your network about Booking and why we use Perl: Perl is used for almost everything with a MySQL backend and Git for development. We get our changes out really fast; it's rare for your code not to be on our live systems within hours of you pushing it. As a data driven company we have a clear goal ? helping our customers. Everything we do is aimed at solving problems for our customers, if it doesn't help our customers we're not interested in doing it. We offer a competitive salary, bonus and relocation package including the opportunity to receive the 30% ruling[3]. Amsterdam is a vibrant and thriving city offering a multi-cultural environment.
