In couple weeks I will move to Melbourne, Australia. I will study in Melbourne Business School for 2 years, obtain MBA degree.

I invested significant efforts and money to that venture and hope that it worth my endeavours. My family will movve with me, 2 years is to long time to live apart.

So I am very exited about my life in Australia, it should be fun

The task

I was contacted by customer who was interested to find developer for his project. Combination of required skills was quite rare: Actionscript 3 (Flex or Flash), PHP 5 (both on very high level) , both as OOP and some technical design skills. Also person should accept and enjoy work from home, has good communications skills and of cause know English well.

The process

There are many experienced PHP developers in Ukraine, not so many but some ActionScript developers, however to find person who knows both part of job well was not an easy at all. I and customer already started to develop ‘plan B’: find separate PHP and ActionScript developers.

However I have used all available ways and in around 2 weeks have found 3 candidates with enough formal skills. 1 candidate disappeared. 2 candidates passed tests goods and I assigned final interview between them and customer.

Both persons made good impressions to my client, he have thought some time and selected one.

The result

Client have got the developer he looked for, in his budget and advice from me regarding documents (contract) with him.
