Any (good) consultants looking for job??

[pguenet]

Strange posting that but I had some difficulties finding a job not long ago so I figured it is worth passing the word around when somebody is recruiting. Also I get incentivised for recruiting and that would go straight into funding parts for the bike so you see there is a logic to it!

I am working for a consultancy that does very top end eCommerce work (transactional sites, backend integration, management, etc.). We have a lot of work coming on the books and need to staff up for it.

Looking to recruit User Experience specialists (Design / info arch), Technical specialists from Developers to Senior Architects (Development experience required), Project Managers, and possibly some Business Dev managers / Client Executives. Typical profile is previous experience in other (big5) consultancies or integrators or web design agencies for User Experience specialists. Experience built working client side is also valued. Recruitment process is very tough with several interviews including a practical test. So you really need to be on top of your game.

If anybody is interested please send CV via email.

When you say architects i assume your not talking about building type architects?

[pguenet]

right assumption, building and integrating information & computer systems type architects that is!! ;)

Contract or Permie roles?

Only permie roles I am afraid. We may need contractors from time to time but try and avoid that as much as possible.

Fair enough, I'm only contracting for the forseeable future.

If you have a shortfall in Architects I do Active Directory and Exchange design. Just finished redesigning BP's Active Directory deployment to a centralised data centre model. The biggest single production domain deployment in the world with over 220,000 computer objects and an AD database of 9.5GB (Win2k3) and over 230 Domain Controllers spread from Docklands to oil rigs to little huts in Africa :D

Also do a lot of other things in all flavours MS. Can give you more detail/CV if you need it at some point.

Cheers Phil.

Sorry to be picky here but you can only legally call yourself an Architect if you have the appropriate qualifications recognised by the RIBA! Engineer and Doctor have the same restrictions but interestingly Dentist doesnt!

Glad things are looking good for you Phillipe - but I didnt understand a word of your original post :lol:

Sorry, tell a lie - the word BIKE was in there wasnt it ;)

I do remember learning to program an Apple classic in hypercard once - any use :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

You might want to mention that to the IT industry then!

We have a few thousand people where part of the job title is Architect and then god knows how many hundreds of thousands world wide called software engineers. I doubt any of them have the architect or engineer qualification :D

I assume these roles are London based only?

I don't want to go into this debate because some people get quite heated. I take nothing away from you either Paul, you've studied hard to get your qualification and you've a right to defend what you've earned. Over the years I've had Engineer and Architect in my job title in various positions but to be honest I don't really care what you call me (easy tiger ;) ).

It's just an easy way of describing the fact that I design various IT technologies. Technology Architect is an industry recognised method of doing this.

In the US and in Aus the Engineering society's started lawsuits for the very same reason - not being allowed to use the title Engineer. I'm not sure how either turned out (because I don't really care) but I guess it would be interesting.

Does that make sense?

[rockhopper]

I dont really care either, just making an observation.

Engineer.... have the same restrictions
Bin called a few things in my time, but I was informed that Engineer requires qualification in Europe and abroad, but not in UK.
This would be in job title only though, not on signatory papers.
Any truth in that?
If not, then I reckon the nuclear industry could lose a couple of hundred so-called "Engineers" (or jumped up draffies), rant rant rant.

[rockhopper]

I thought Engineer was one over here. Might be different if you put something infont of it like software engineer perhaps.

Interesting thought's about 'engineers, and architect's'-I used to be AMImechE and AMIprodE but since I have been in sales for over 30 years stopped paying my dues years ago.
The best one's have to be doctors, they study for 6 years to be able to be a doctor and to be able to call themselves Dr, then study a load more to become a surgeon and earn the right to be called-Mr. Most surgeons would rip your head off without the benefit of an anasthetic if you called them Dr. Funny old world ain't it...........?

Yeap roles in the UK essentially London based although if you happened to have a client who wants you on his site, you may be in lovely Manchester, Edinburgh or somewhere in Holland. But the base is in London and also you can arrange some working from home, you would be expected to be most of time on client site or office site (lots of team work).
Alternatively there could be positions in Germany or India... but I don't think that this was the sense of the question.

Thanks for offer but we do not have much systems work. Our work tends to be more around pure transactional solutions like a shop, trading system, etc.

Paul
Appologies for abusing the titles but those are very common titles in the industry although indeed I do not have a Architect or a Doctor diploma!

Those that have emailed - I have sent replies.

Cheers
