Hi there, I am a Lead Web Developer for IBM Global Services consulting =
branch and my wife is a recruiter for a local IT Staffing and Consulting =
firm here in Houston, TX. She has scoured Monster and online resources, =
as well as her own company's database, but she didn't have much success =
in finding the right candidates. After listening to her whining for a =
while, I decided to help her and try a few unconventional methods, like =
JUGs, old friends and colleagues of mine, Java BBS hangouts etc...=20

She has a client that needs several (up to 75 positions eventually in =
the next 12 months) Java developers. The positions are in downtown =
Houston, with a Fortune 100 corporation. Kickass benefits and all =
related perks are offered for F/T positions.Is it a large company using =
cutting edge technology. They are very encouraging for qualifying women =
and minorities to apply, too.

They are either looking for a full time positions or contractor =
positions, paid hourly. US citizens and or green card holders are =
preferred, BUT H1B Visa holders are welcome and might be considered for =
contract positions only, and only with exceptional skills and way above =
average programming abilities and very strong background. Her IDEAL =
candidates should have outstanding technical skills in these areas: are =
experts in all aspects of Java (J2EE, EJBs, applets, servlets, JSPs) =
and/or C++ programmers, Sybase/Oracle, XML, MQ, Solaris, UNIX. The ideal =
previous experience should be: developing mission critical, real-time =
applications used in the Oil/Gas, Investment Banking, Energy Trading or =
Financial industries, on the trade floor etc... Good knowledge of the =
above mentioned industries is beneficial. A small plus is experience =
with foreign exchanges and commodities.=20

If you are not living in Houston, relocation might be a possibility for =
the right persons.

The pay rate given to me is just a general guideline. It will depend =
upon her client, upon candidate's previous experience etc.. Generally, I =
was explained that the guidelines for compensation are competitive and =
as follows: For full time positions, 70-80K base plus bonus of 0-40K =
depending on a seniority of a candidate, quality of work done, tying to =
company's performance etc... Don't know much about that, so you make =
sure you ask her any questions you have. Contract positions will be paid =
up to 50 $ an hour DOE.

Well, that's it, as it was given to me. If you are interested or if you =
know someone who is, you can either email me back with your updated =
resume, or feel free to call me at 713 686 6995. If the voice mail picks =
up, please leave a message. Thanks!
