Anyone hiring in Toronto? (I see one, but there was another thread a couple of days ago where it was suggested that companies are having trouble finding people in Toronto... so I would expect more postings here if that were the case.)

We sell high-quality fashion jewelry via our merchandiser network made up of passionate young women across America; we operate a direct sales model so each one of our merchandisers gets paid a commission for every sale they make. Most exciting is that c + i is building and utilizing the Internet and web 2.0 technologies to set us apart from our competitors.

I agree with all that generally (and nothing at all against Peroni, or working with a recruiter at all, etc). I still think it's best if he leaves this thread to direct company postings, though, and finds other ways to let interested HNers to work with him. The ideal "Who's Hiring" page will have lots of postings, and every post will be as close to "ideal" as possible. I define an ideal post in this context as one th…
Retrospect is a wonderful thing. I won't be posting on Who's Hiring again although for the record, out of those that contacted me, I have already arranged interviews for three of them and there are potentially more to come so at least those that read my post in a positive light might actually get something out of it.
I hope I didn't seem like I was piling on, and I wasn't annoyed by your post in the first place -- just thinking in terms of the general trend I'd like to see in these threads. Cheers.

No I do understand your point. I have contacted the HN team to see if there is an option to pay for a formal job post but they don't want to start a trend of recruiter advertising which is understandable.
It was an interesting experiment and instead I may just set up an opt-in monthly mailing list exclusively for HN'ers with opportunities that I feel would be of interest. More on that later.

Rally Software is looking for passionate developers with experience in building robust and flexible web-based applications.
What’s it like at Rally?
We pair. We use Git, Groovy, Grails, Spring, ExtJS, Ruby & MongoDB. We only use OSs that have pipe & grep. We drink beer and play LAN games together.
What makes Rally a ridiculously good place to work
- Entrepreneurial Atmosphere: You are in charge of your destiny. The team owns all architectural and framework choices, so if anything is not working, we change it! Prove a new technology solves a problem and we’ll use it.
- Hackathons: Had a flash of inspiration for an idea that could help the business? Unleash your creativity with regular opportunities to prototype with whatever cool new tech you want and present it to the rest of the team. If they like it enough, it could even become a fully-fledged feature and released as part of the product.
- No role or tech ruts: Extend your role or create your own. Work across the entire stack (presentation, middleware, web services & backend) or specialize in an area of interest to you.
- Learning: Overwhelming encouragement (and sponsorship) for attending and presenting at conferences, meet-ups, writing books, and blogging. Our experiment-rich culture has us evolving our methodology and tools constantly.
- Fun: We have a kegerator with a different beer every month, as well as regular video game and table tennis sessions. Few things compare to hearing your coworkers’ cries from across the office as you frag them at the end of a long day.
- Copious Awards: Rally was named the Best Company to Work For In Colorado (where our HQ is) for the last four years running and ranked in the top ten Best Places to Work in the U.S. from Outside Magazine. We opened our North Carolina office in 2009 and are looking to aggressively grow it. Our product has won numerous awards and was recently recognized by industry analyst Forester Research as offering “the best combination of capability and strategy of Agile ALM tools".
At the end of the day, the main things we’re searching for are talent and passion. However, experience in certain areas could help you hit the ground running, so here’s our attempt at narrowing things down a bit -
Apply if you have ninja skills in:
Java, Javascript, and OO design.
We upvote you if you also know:
Groovy, Grails, Ruby, CSS, ExtJS (or similar JS frameworks), Git (or other distributed SCM), SQL (especially Oracle), MongoDB (or other NoSQL) and Agile methodologies.
A taste for beer & thai food, as well as having crazy good hand-eye coordination are also helpful.
