    As a candidate, I have a couple of trusted recruiters I prefer to work through.

    I found them through trial and error.

    As an employer, every year I call and buy lunch for at least about a dozen potential future employees, to remind them that my team exists and that I think they could be a good fit.

      That’s an interesting approach that I’ve not encountered.

      If you do remote only and want to talk to someone with over 40 years ICT experience, hit me up. I’m in UTC+8.

        Thank you. I don’t have any vacancies right now, but I’ll be happy to let you know if that changes.

        Edit: Also, yes, my team is fully remote.
