Find Us a Team Leader, Get a MacBook Pro!

By Kevin Yank | June 21, 2007 | Web Tech

SitePoint Solutions needs a Lead Developer and we’re willing to bribe you with shiny and expensive trinkets (the MacBook Pro pictured here) to help us find one.

Working within our fast growing solutions division, the new hire would work in our Melbourne office, and be responsible for leading a small team of developers creating custom web applications for clients around the world.

How do you get it?

Simple. All you need to do is use our shiny, new form to tell your friend/colleague/aquaintance about the position.

If they get the job, a shiny new Macbook Pro is yours—it’s that easy.

Yes the prize machine is brand spankin’.

Mark Harbottle June 22, 2007 at 10:18 am: I have a friend who would suit for the job but he works for another big company.
Ah, that’s the idea, send him the link. We’re not expecting our ideal candidate to be sitting at home watching Jerry!
Can you refer yourself? Then I could have a Macbook Pro and a great job! ;)
Yes, you can refer yourself and win the prize!
I hardly think Smith Street, Collingwood is an Inner-city location
We’re only a few km’s from the city.
Ryno June 22, 2007 at 10:11 am: For a lead developer role, I thought there would be some details about the ‘leadership’ aspects of the position. Having the development skills and experience is one thing but leading and managing a team is something different and the lack of information regarding this will mean you’ll attract more of what you already have, developers, not lead developers.
Rewrite the job add and you may find you’ll start attracting the right people with the right experience.

FWIW, I’d prefer Smith to Collins anyways. Good location.

Best of luck
