Looking To Recruit Skilled ICT Staff? May 15, 2009

Steven Smith of Liverpool Vision would like to bring your attention to an excellent recruiting opportunity:

ICT Sector and Daresbury Science & Innovation Campus bring you a unique opportunity to meet and interview some key highly skilled staff at no cost to you and your business.

Sony Ericsson are relocating some functions back to Tokyo and as a result a number of highly skilled, highly motivated personnel are being made redundant at the end of August. I have secured the opportunity for bona fide ICT employers to meet with most of these candidates exclusively on June 17th 2009. Please note that there are no and will be no recruitment agencies involved in this process. The list of skills available are:-

Software Architects
Senior Development Engineers
Development Engineers
Integration Engineers
3rd party supplier support engineers
Software Project Managers with engineering background
Customer Project Managers
Development Manager
Test Manager

There are also 15 test engineers with a whole variety of backgrounds in the software, software and hardware environment, automation and project management.
Sales Account Manager (not Sony Ericsson)
Sales Internal (not Sony Ericsson)
Sales External (not Sony Ericsson)
Marketing executive (not Sony Ericsson)
Most staff presented have a minimum of 5 years experience and all are highly trained and skilled individuals from a truly professional work environment.

For the opportunity to meet any of these candidates please email me at ssmith@liverpoolvision.co.uk with some brief details about your company (if not already known to me) stating clearly which disciplines you would be interested in meeting.

Before the event itself which commences at 2:30pm on June 17th, I will match your requirements to appropriate candidates along with their CVs. This will maximise your time by you only having to meet skillsets relevant to your business. If your requirements are less precise then there will be an opportunity to network amongst the candidates at the same venue.

This is a rare and very exclusive opportunity and I urge you to take full advantage.

Kind regards
Steve

Securely Delete Your Stuff February 23, 2009

Here’s a quick little technical tip we’ve found online.

Freeraser is a portable application that lets you securely delete old or sensitive data from your machine.

It offers various levels of deletion, from simple over-write to a 35 round Guttman Pass. No, we don’t know what that is either, but apparently it’s more than enough to make sure what you choose to erase actually gets erased.
