Windows C++

scottbivium-logo-finalOne of the best feelings, especially in such a challenging environment, is when the phone rings, and it’s VP who you’ve done business with for over a decade, telling me that he just started a new job, and only wants to work with me to fill his two new Software Engineer roles!

My great relationship is your “in” to the decision-maker. The role is a “senior software engineer” target 5-15 years of experience with current C#/ASP.NET experience, with a past history of Win32 C++ work. Salary to 115k, + 401k match + strong benefits. Stable company. Tewksbury, MA — drop me a line scott@biviumgroup.com if this sounds like you

bivium logoWorking with Founders of a startup in Lexington, MA area – software engineers with C++ user mode/kernel mode experience. You know who you are! Some comments from the hiring manager:

“Each team is now responsible for front to back development of our product. This includes, SQLServer 2005, .NET/C#, ASP.NET, C++ user mode, and C++ Windows kernel development.

My team is lacking in C++ user mode and C++ kernel mode skill sets. Ultimately, the candidate would be interested in working with all the technologies I listed above. The immediate need would be user mode and kernel mode C++ development. ” Please send resumes to scott@biviumgroup.com – subject line “C++ Kernel Mode.

 Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone – to me, today is not just about loving your significant other, or the person whom you may be in a relationship with, but taking a brief moment to really think about how we influence and effect others — loving those around us – including your co-workers, can be a simple thing – such as being a bit more patient or forgiving – perhaps simply offering a warm smile. Remember that Loving thoughts lead to Loving actions — and in an uncertain world, the one thing we can control, are OUR OWN thoughts and actions. [OK - cheesy sentiments over for today ;-) ].

Tonight, is a critical game for the Red Sox, game 3, after a very disappointing, but not surprising (Gagne!!!) loss in 11 innings. Now that our veil of invincibility has been lifted, we need to dig deep and show the Indians what we can do on their turf.

Already half-way through October, that means only 32 days until I leave on my ‘big’ vacation of the year – cannot wait!!

Many of these are exclusive clients to The Bivium Group, and many of these offer great opportunities to take the next step in your career – perhaps an update on technologies you work with day to day, or the caliber of your peers. As the market (and other candidates) put themselves into new jobs, they are maximizing their market value at all times — it’s in crazy times like this, more than ever, critical, to align yourself with a resource who can help navigate these shark-infested waters. Choose to work with the best – I am currently ranked the #1 Recruiter in Boston on Linkedin. I’d love to see how we can partner together — scott@biviumgroup.com

bivium logoSomething I am always reminding candidates about in this market is that I can do the great work of matching a wonderful company to your background. I have access to the hiring managers, and insight into the client’s culture, expectations and interview-style. I will be able to help provide you with information that will display your unique skills in the best possible light. However, before the interview, you must take “ownership” and utilize the information I provide to you, to prepare and practice both the technical and non-technical aspects of your interview. Non-verbal communications, agendas for your interviews, practice Java, J2EE or C++ questions for software engineers, how to write a thank you letter. As many current and recent candidates can tell you, getting the interview is fairly easy, but getting the job you want can be downright challenging - no matter your skills, school pedigree or what you think you can do. We, and our clients often subcribe to the mentality that if we’re on the fence about your candidacy, the easy choice is to “pass”.  A great headhunter will always help prepare you for your interviews and ensure you have the best chance of getting the job YOU want.

red soxbivium logoPeople have been asking me “given your rewards, how much does a headhunter make?” — well I can tell you that we’re offering as much as a good full-time recruiter working for any reputable company would earn for recruiting, presenting & managing the “candidate” side of the equation. Why are we being so generous? Because, we want to continue to reward those who have helped in our success.  To date, I have 14 open software engineer positions (J2EE, C#, .NET, embedded, Lead, Manager, SQA) that are referral reward eligible for a total of $41,500 in bonuses available to split between you and your entire network. For a complete and up to date list of all jobs that are open and their respective rewards – the link is here – pass the word to your software engineer friends & their friends…

The Sox extended their major league best record to 41-22 and are now 20-10 at home. Sweet! With the nice weather planned for this weekend, Jamie (the other Co-Founder), I and our families expect to take in the Giants game on Friday, hoping to see Barry hit one out. 

bivium logoFor a long-time client (and past candidate) in Cambridge, MA I am offering a $3000 referral reward that you can confidentially split amongst your network, just click here-

https://www.h3.com/?dmr=KsvCSXAHGRV6W8aZtcHMzKYRvW8 .

 This VC-backed startup client (established with clients) is looking for hardcore C++ cross-platform (some Linux and majority Windows) skills with systems, kernels, file systems — really interesting work in the vision/video space.  Salary to the 120kish area + equity.

bivium logoFor all you Baseball fans — Monday was the annual Hall of Fame Game in Cooperstown, NY — I had the pleasure of taking in this baseball extravaganza — from the parade with Toronto Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles players to a glorious sunny May day to watch the homerun derby in historic Doubleday Field – those baseball fans among us should mark their calendar to visit the shire to baseball history – it’s a little slice of Norman Rockwell just 3.5 hrs from Boston.

 I am actively recruiting for a Principal/Lead C#/.NET Software role that involves a possible 1-3 day telecommute. I am offering  $3,000 referral bonus by clicking https://www.h3.com/?dmr=caexat57wt8Sh-5KtFK2pr-zwUg, if you know anyone. This client is in Cambridge.

Well, the hottest job I am working on this week is a Windows CE/Mobile C++ software engineer position — what is unique and pretty cool about this opportunity is that you can work from home 3-4 days a week. Travel to the Cambridge, MA office just once a week. Get in touch if this interests you or someone in your network – I have am offering $3,500 cash for any referrals on this job.

Speaking of telecommute — hard to imagine how many companies are still against the concept. In 2007 “Face-time” is certainly important, but every hour of every day certainly does not need to be in the office. In our industry and in some companies, this “dinosaur” thinking is like the iceberg under the water – just a sign of so, so many other outdated thoughts. You hear me WW? :-)

I love referrals – it’s the ultimate pat on the back and it reminds me that I’ve done a great job. In fact, 80% of my placements are referrals!

Right now, I recognize the market is pulled in so many directions – great opportunities look no different on the surface than a “legacy” job with old technologies and ever-worse potential colleagues.

 We are now offering the HIGHEST referral rewards in the Boston software engineering market – anywhere from $2,000-$4,000 – the results in a permanent placement. Why refer your friends or colleagues elsewhere?

We have partnered with www.h3.com for a system where you and those you refer to can all SPLIT the rewards. No other recruiting firm is doing this. We love our network and want to reward you too! Email me to get on the rewards list — it couldn’t be easier.
