Hola Italia,

Hope you guys are doing well.

The UK contract Rails market has got awesome over the last couple of  
weeks. I’ve got like 6 friggin’ contracts available at the moment in  
London and around the UK working on a variety of projects from  
well-funded green field start-ups to established major rails teams to  
new government initiatives. Typically 3 months in length, so if anyone  
fancies a holiday to the UK for the summer feel free to send me a  
message. I’ve also got good contacts I can hook you up with for getting  
cheap places to rent short term at short notice. I’ve also got a  
plethora of awesome perm roles (this one client 100% believe they will  
be the next twitter and have £14 million in funding + members of the  
first twitter marketing department on-board). I’ve got quite a few  
clients who are open to semi-remote on both the contract and perm side  
too if that fits in with peoples life-styles.

Anyways, feel free to get in contact if any of that sounds interesting  
to you for now or for the future and sincere apologies if this email is  
out of place on this board as I know it’s not strictly Italy related.

Best

Great, thanks!

Just out of curiosity, how does a a “friggin’” contract differ from a  
regular one? Is that friggin like shitty, or like “totally fuckin’  
awesome, dude”? 🙂

I think generally people don’t mind well-targeted, on-topic recruiting  
emails on this list, but something you might consider adding is what  
kind of cash is involved (doesn’t have to be exact), as, to be honest,  
that’s going to be a big motivator for someone to pick up and go to  
London: it certainly isn’t the friggin’ weather ! Other things that  
motivate technical people are knowing that they’re going to work on  
something cool - I know you recruiting guys don’t like to spill the  
beans about what company it is, so it doesn’t have to be detailed, but  
give people a vague idea about the work involved if you can.

## Thanks,

David N. Welton

Ciao,

ho trovato un contratto in Scozia grazie a Louis e se siete iscritti al  
LRUG avrete letto dei buoni feedback su di lui. E` una dei pochi  
recruiter seri in gro.

Sicuramente i contratti che ha non sono ‘friggin like shitty’ 🙂
