Ask HN: Who is hiring in Australia?

9 pointsthrowaway55510 comments

I love the who's hiring threads and spreadsheet on Google, but I'm really not in a position to relocate. America's working visas make it difficult to bring a de facto partner with you, and the UK is tightening up their system as well.

So who, apart from Campaign Monitor, is hiring in Australia?

I (www.supercoders.com.au) am looking for lots of people for employers in Melbourne. C, Objective-C, PHP, C++, Java .NET Ruby and getting plenty of applications but few of them have the key things: passion, computer science fundamentals (object oriented principles, design patterns) and an understanding of web technologies. Same sad old story, tons of jobs, very few people with any level of interest, experience and knowledge.

Do you place front end developers with a design leaning?

I'll copy some of these onto

https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0At7Zl0IkSUKrdGl4RE1...

I guess these posts should link back to these spreadsheets, so that they don't really get lost/reacreated each month.

I'd also created an HN folder on Gdocs with such spreadsheets: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B97Zl0IkSUKrMzBhOTViMzEtMjA...

Nothing at the moment but occasionally such roles come up. Most of our employers tend to be looking for programming/software engineering skills more than design. The home page of our website (URL above) has instructions on how to apply.

Would they be able and willing to sponsor visa application?

Fraid not. Employers in Melbourne are very reluctant to sponsor.

Well, that's probably one of the reasons they find it hard to find good people then. They've already intentionally limited their pool of talent.
