FYI.
They have 56 job listings. I'm assuming since they are pretty close to the
valley, and they are a non-profit that they aren't offering much money, but
you never know. I did find it interesting that the description and
qualifications for a Jr. Programmer is a typewritten page (below).
I guess the only way we would know is to actually call them or apply for a
job.

Subject: Re: interesting contradiction about needing H1B workers



Scott,

I don't find this a contradiction at all.

This guy wants full time hires, not consultants.  In my experience, the use
of consultants is for short term gain, not long term pain.  If you can only
get the short termers, why go for the pain too?

I'm not trying to defend this guy, because I don't know how hard he
actually looked for qualified permanent hires.  But I won't condemn him
either based solely on the comments below

Rick

I thought this article raises an interesting contradiction:

http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=17800189

The quote:

 "Hummel says he's had some jobs open for two years looking for qualified
people, and, if he can't hire someone to do a job, he has to pay
consultants three or four times the salary rate."

to me says he *can* find qualified workers (the consultants), he just
doesn't  want to pay the going rate.  So he looks for H1B workers instead.

Scott
