Yes, I am and I am sure there are more. Some User IDs indicate that too.

But why?

 As a company we pro-actively meet and get to know the independent consultants we work work with.   We don't post job adds.  Many other companies find the jobs, then scurry around for the talent.  We seek out the best talent in the market, build relationships and then match them up with qualified consultant openings.

I think I understand where you are coming from (and I am interested to hear more) but this forum community is different to others. It's a bit corny but I love it. There is a sense of community that you don't find around alot.

So it sounds like you are trying to find consultants to work for you (and hopefully I might be one of them if the terms are right) but I don't want to see cognoise deteriorate to just being a job board. We should follow the process and advertise your interest via jobnoise. This way, it is unobtrusive and you also support the community. However you dress up your requirement, you are trying to get people to work for you so I think it is pretty transparent.

Support the community and it will support you - that, I guess, is how relationships work (hope you don't mind my paraphrasing).

Hope you put your ad up as I would like to see which locations you cover.

Good luck
Soph

Soph-

I hear ya on the community.Ã,  This is a great site and I'm glad to have found it!!!Ã,  Ã, This catagory is - Introduce yourself and your company....Ã,  The company I work for and the link to our website is in my profile.Ã,  Ã, We work with independent consultants- and pro-actively seek out the best of the best.Ã,  Initially, I wasn't sure if there were a lot of independents that knew about Cognoise... which was the reason for my initial post.Ã,  I don't have a specific requirement that I'm trying to dress up.Ã,  

Regards,
Jon
