Wow. I wanted to LOL at that and claim you made it up, but it really does sound plausible.

I've considered putting together a training course for tech recruiters - something like a one day bootcamp to familiarize them with specific tech, so they know the diff between java and javascript, for example. but... need to find the time to do that on top of everything else!

Borland Builder? I didn't know that still existed...


Yeah - the recruiter didn't know it had ever existed!
