Are Job Ads OK?

Is it OK to post Ruby job ads on this forum?

Looking for advice on where to post (for free) Ruby job ads, besides
Craigslist of course.

Thanks for any help-

As long as they are real jobs and for ruby/ using tools in ruby, I am
personally ok seeing job ads.

I would put [job] in the subject.

I can’t imagine too many people disagreeing with this stance.

There really should be a separate sub-forum called ruby-jobs.

This is a forum for discussing Ruby language/programming topics. Not for
job advertisements.

There’s a LinkedIn group for Rails with lots of ads. IDK about Ruby w/o
Rails, though.

The funny thing is that exactly the same discussion happened 2 days ago
on the Scala mailinglist.

Does it make sense that each open source language starts its own board?
Seems to be the preferred way …

Also: this list is global (as in “world wide”) whereas job offers
usually are locally restricted.

Honestly, I don’t think there is a job board for Ruby without Rails.
Even
http://toprubyjobs.com/ seems to be all Rails (and it isn’t free).

You should just post :slight_smile: If it annoys tptb enough, maybe they’ll make a
separate board for it and that will be better for everyone.

I have found that many local/national Ruby U. Groups are fine, and
even
encourage relevant Ruby related jobs.

On the worldwide list, the last thing I want to see is 200 job postings
a
week that I cannot apply to.

On the other hand, someone like me more than happy to move. The last
thing I
want to do is have to compile and then check a list 200 local ruby
boards a
week.

It doesn’t seem that there is currently a resource for this, but given
that
I’ve seen less than a handful of Ruby w/o Rails jobs, ever, I don’t
think
there is much to be concerned about.

I’d say consider elance.com for job posting. It’s way better than this
mailing list.
