Last week I sent contact details of two very good Drupal developers that I know personally to a recruiter. I know at least one of them is being interviewed this week. But then I had a brainwave! Why am I doing the work of a recruitment agency for free, especially when I know how much recruitment agencies charge for their services.
I am also often asked by people who are hiring if I know of any Drupal developers looking for work.The answer to both is usually “Yes”. I seem to know lots of people in the Drupal community and am trusted enough by them to let me know if they are looking for a new job/contract (often in private so their current employer doesn’t know).I’ve a simple pricing model. If you hire a developer that I recommend, the cost will be ��€1,500 per developer. No deposit, no recurring charges, no “18% of their first year’s salary”, just a simple one-off fee of €1,500 (ex-VAT, if applicable). If you are a developer, there is no charge.If you are a Drupal developer thinking of changing jobs, fill out this form and I’ll see if I can recommend you to someone suitable.
A new Drupal recruitment agency?
Today I launched a new service, matching available Drupal developers with recruiters and agencies that are hiring.
Is there a vetting process
I am calling this service “Available Drupal Developers”. If I was cool, I’d call it ADD or something and set up a website and a CRM, and get some merch and hoodies, and blah, blah, blah. But I’m not cool, so I am keeping it all in a spreadsheet for now and a landing page on this humble website.
I know you personally (have worked with you, worked on issues together on Drupal.org, met at conferences, etc) and/or
I can validate your work from open source sources (blog posts, presentations, Drupal, GitHub)
Take my money already, Mark
My solution? I am going to charge people who are hiring, just like a recruitment agency would, for my recommendations. Except, my cost is going to be about 90% cheaper than a recruitment agency. Why so cheap? The price I am charging is a very fair price for basically telling someone that someone else is available for work.
