Want to see Delphi jobs on HiddenNetwork?

HiddenNetwork is a cool idea, but they’re not so great for Delphi programmers. Yet.

We’d like to change that.

Today, if you go to the job board and click on “Keywords [change]“, you’ll see that there’s no search keyword for Delphi. That’s because, well, so far they haven’t had anyone who wants to post a Delphi job. As far as I know, I’m the first person on DelphiFeeds to join HiddenNetwork; most of their exposure so far has been more along the lines of the Java and .NET crowds.

But I think DelphiFeeds is probably a force to be reckoned with. I’ve been talking to Alex at HiddenNetwork, and we’d like to give it a trial run, and see whether HiddenNetwork readers will respond to Delphi jobs.

So if you’re looking to hire Delphi developers, and willing to work with us to give this a try, drop me a line at delphijobs01@excastle.com, and we’ll put your Delphi job on HiddenNetwork for FREE.

HiddenNetwork job postings are usually active for a month. For this free deal, Alex said we’d probably go for a couple of weeks to see how it goes. If there’s a good response from readers, Delphi jobs may become a permanent part of HiddenNetwork. And if not, then hey, it’s free, you didn’t lose anything but a bit of time.

(Note that the above e-mail address is not my regular e-mail address, and will cease to be active a few weeks from now, when I get sick of all the inevitable spambot spam and quit checking it anymore. So this is, in a sense, a limited-time offer.)

    Heya … I’m looking for a Delphi developer, and am wondering if that HiddenNetwork thing went anywhere.

    Any other tips for finding Delphi developers?

  2. Joe Says:

    No, it really didn’t go anywhere.

    When we’ve had to hire developers, we’ve generally just looked for people who are good OO programmers, and then taught them Delphi. We’ve got eight devs on our team and we do pair programming, so the learning curve isn’t too bad.
