Busy Camper with New Openings
I guess I have to learn to discipline myself to update this on a more regular basis. However, when busy posting jobs, talking with candidates, hiring people, etc., I tend to forget that I also have this responsibility.
Have been really busy searching, talking with, and hopefully soon, hiring a new Apps DBA here in the Chicago area. Out of the blue I was told we needed someone in the next couple of weeks and after my initial search efforts failed to turn up anyone that looked worth talking to, I was starting to worry that I was going to fail on this effort. But then it seems that the flood gates opened up and now I have more qualified candidates than we need. Nice position for us to be in but I imagine it can be frustrating on our candidates. Maybe this supports the "If you build it, they will come" concept. If you broadcast a large enough net looking for candidates, you will catch some!!
Now my urgent needs are for 3 or more experienced Oracle HR Functional Consultants. I know finding these are going to be tough because so many good consultants in this area will no longer accept salaried positions, they just want to do contract projects. But hopefully if I beat enough bushes, some good choices will fall out. It appears that the Oracle HR arena is really busy right now and should be that way for maybe several years. This should allow for good growth potential for any of our HR consultants to really expand their skills as this practice area grows for AST. I have been a week's worth of net casting so far and it looks like I might see some results next week.
Still on the hunt for a solid CRM/TCA Solution Architect and maybe 2 good CRM Functional candidates. This also seems to be a growing practice area with AST.
On a personal front, as busy as I am at work, I am also getting prepared to move in a couple weeks to a larger apartment and have to find time to pack everything. I really hate moving but getting a larger apartment in my same complex for less money that what I was having to pay for the current apartment was just too good of a deal to pass over. Plus, my wife will be happy because now we will have an extra bedroom for whenever her daughter wants to stay with us.
