Rick Deller Eligo Recruitment

Firstly I need to hold my hands up

@Perlrick www.eligo.co.uk/technology

My original talk was called“It’s all in the question”


However


I ended up asking a question


Then about a week ago…


What do I know about?


Wait, I’m a Perl recruiter


It’s a Perl Conference !


So


The only choice was


Statistical Methods for Causal Inference When the Assumption of

Experimental Treatment Assignment is Violated


Maybe I should leave that to Oliver Bemboom of University of

California


On a Serious Note


Let’s talk Perl Jobs

Are there still Perl Jobs?


What form do they take?


Where in the world are they?


Is everyone moving away?


Let’s dig into the detail


Perl Jobs

• Despite what you may read the Perl Market is strong

• Lots of hires through organic growth• More than just writing legacy code • Jobs at all levels • Companies investing in training


What form do they take?• Companies are looking at Perl Developers with

more than just back-end development. • Lots of emphasis on Full-Stack • If you don’t already know it have a look at

JavaScript • There are lots of roles with a DevOps focus (We

can debate what that role actually looks like another time)

• A developer with versatility is in high demand


Where in the World are they?• We are seeing Perl Jobs all around the world • UK is always strong • I hear there is a large Perl house in Amsterdam • Although the Dutch Market is very strong • We have roles across – Germany, Sweden,

Portugal, Spain, Austria, U.S. to name a few


Is everyone Moving away?


No


Or as we are in Romania


Nui


That’s great, there are jobs…!


And wait I can get paid for it?


What’s the money like?


What does salary depend on?

• How do companies define level?• Is it all on years’ experience? • How much of a factor is personality?• What about location? • Size of company?


Junior Developer / Graduate / New Developer

• I’m going to base this on years of experience • So let say 0-2 years • Salary (£ GBP)• £25,000 maybe even £30,000• Again be aware of the factors we have already

mentioned


Mid level Developer

• So again with experience – 3 to 5 years • There are a rough guide with the brackets of

experience. • £40,000 to £50,000


Senior Developer

• 5 + Years experience • Unlike the others as the salaries are higher it’s

more dependant on technical ability • £55,000 to £65,000 • What’s senior in one company might not be

in another


How do we apply for the right role?


Is it all about the CV?

It’s a vital tool

An insight into who you are

A snapshot of your work experience

But… it’s not everything


How should it look though?

• Personal Details

• Profile Summary

• Technical Skills



Career Details

Environment

Projects

Key Achievements



Tech Meet Ups

Events

Publications

Interests


What’s the value of a recruiter?


What can set you apart?


You need to be more than just a great developer


Team Fit

• Do you fit in with company culture?• Are you engaged with Perl? • Do you want to get involved? • Do you like working within a team? • Are you passionate?• Can you demonstrate that?


How do I show Passion?


Are you a contributor?


Are you blogging?


Social Profile


LinkedIn Does it match your CV?

Is it Updated?


Keep it professional


It’s not Facebook


Do you have a photo?


But then again… Do you have a photo?


Are you Getting viewed?


To like or to comment (or to share)…that is the question ?


Endorsements


Can you recommend me?


#Twitter

One of my favourite accounts is @PerlRick


It’s important what we say


Always be Positive


Silence is Not Golden


How we behave in work matters


Reputation can stick


Although a good reputation can do wonders


You can change your reputation


It can also be a matter of Opinion


Are you known in the community?


How did you leave?


People always remember


Summary

• The Perl Market is Strong • There are Jobs all over the world • Show your passion • Get involved !
