Anyone worked with a good recruiter or agency in NYC to find a contract job?I'd like to get a short-term contract programming job in a big company with deep pockets and high headcount so I'm as anonymous as a grain of sand on a beach - just to pay the bills for a while.I'm thinking about approaching some of the big national recruiting agenencies - KForce, etc - but I'm concerned they have so...
Perhaps that explains why you are also less likely to perceive it when it happens. Perhaps Dave Winer is more sensitive to this issue and that explains why he notices it more. I doubt that he is imagining this since you are one of the few people in IT that I have heard having a contrary experience. Perhaps you are simply an outlier.
I'm not going to name names but I found a job on Startuply. Everything looked great. But after doing a bit of digging, the whole company started to seem like a bit of a mirage. Is this common? How do you avoid getting tricked into taking jobs like this and how do "startups" get away with this kind of stuff? Can pretty much anyone post a job on Startuply?

Actually a lot of programmers suck at networking and are terrible at job hunting.
This is a myth perpetuated by the you-get-what-you-deserve crowd who also believe that the homeless deserve to be where they are because they didn't play by the rules.
The willingness to pay $100 to post your resume could just as easily correlate to lower ability since someone who can't find a job through any other avenue might be willing to pay for additional exposure to employers.
However, the idea of charging participants in that community $100 per year for the privilege of having their resumes searchable by employers seems like a bit of a slap in the face.
Especially since the Careers site doesn't even seem to try to distinguish between employers and recruiters.
