Hiring Season!

Thu, 19 Jul 2007 18:30:00 GMT

When sweltering summer hits, most people think of nothing but heading up to the cottage and relaxing in the lake, cold drink in hand. Some people, and we're not pointing fingers here, think only of spending time in the great outdoors, hiking and camping amongst the wilds of our beautiful country (we ask: where is the wireless connection?). Being the dedicated, heads down, loyal to only our clients types that we are, our thoughts have turned exclusively to one thing: hiring!

That's right folks: it's that time again! We've just about finished our massive office renovation and now we have all this empty space to fill, so we sat down and filled up an entire white board of things we could fill it with. A sample:

Elephants (too heavy, too many peanuts)
Clowns (too scary, too many clown cars)
Origami Cranes (too many paper cuts, too many dead trees)
A Bigger Team (too much... fun?)

And there you have it! We settled on a bigger team, though I still haven't ruled out elephants provided we can build some kind of code input device that doesn't get crushed under their massive feet (Ed: trunk based?).

Effective immediately, we're looking for two key positions:

All the instructions you need are in the posts, so go read 'em and send in your info! If you know someone who matches the description, please forward along, and if you write a blog which gets read by the kind of people we're looking for, please make a quick post on our behalf.

Calling All Developers

Fri, 08 Dec 2006 16:43:00 GMT

December brings a lot of things riding on its cold, wintery, wind: snow to our part of the world, the Holiday season, joy, carols, presents, and, of course, hiring season.

That's right folks! It's that hiring time of year at the Radiant Ranch. In addition to our previously mentioned Senior Designer opening, we've just posted a new opportunity for an Intermediate to Senior Java Developer to join our Professional Services team. If you're the kind of person who likes wrestling with nasty bugs, ropin' specifications, and chowin' down on databases, you're just our type. Head on over to the job description for some details and wrassle up a resume to send in!

We're Hiring!

Radiant Core is, once again, on the hunt for the best of the best. We're looking for a fantastic web designer to add to our team and we're only interested in the cream of the crop. If you (or someone you know) regularly impresses your design pants off with their web design kung-fu, knows XHTML and CSS inside out, and babbles on and on (and on) about the importance of web standards - boy do we have a job for you/them! More details in our swanky Careers section.

I've been thinking of writing a post about how to get a job here and I probably will when I inevitably get flooded with a torrent of résumés from people who didn't read the posting and aren't qualified, so I'll save the details for the follow up - but I will say: please read the post carefully! We're sure every one of you are wonderful people, but we take great care to write the requirements because they reflect the actual job and, although we'd love to have lunch sometime, if you don't have what we're looking for, we won't hire you. Keep checking back though! We might need you soon.
