Interesting, but I'm a bit shy about hiring people through channels like this, worried that they really have only worked with Django or only want to work with Django.
Part of the point is that we pre-screen developers (and employers) to ensure that people are high quality -- and that they have actually used Django before. We are requiring open source code to be shown (or having a good reason for not having any). Along with doing basic interview-style questions to prove that you actually understand Django on a non-trivial level.
There will be a screening process, yes, and diversity of experience will be one of the factors we take into account. Nobody wants to hire or work with a one-trick pony.
Agreed; why not have a site like this at least for Python ? Any half-decent Python programmer should be able to pick up Django quite quickly, and I'd rather hire a good Python programmer with broad experience than someone who has just used Python through Django.
yeah, if my website happened to be in django, I'd still be happy to hire great developers who haven't happened to work with django before. is this the new java certified?
