Developer Auction now accepting developers from all backgrounds in the USA
That struck me too. Are they saying no company will offer remote or visa assistance?
But, hey, it's hard enough to get people to understand that thriving development communities exist outside of London.
I would recommend steering clear of these guys. They spammed me several times, at work, trying to get me to join their site. Although the founder professes they "are not your typical recruiter sending unsolicited emails". On the surface it sounds like a good idea, but it is nothing more than lipstick on a pig, plain old recruiters. You're better off using multiple recruiters, who will expose you to many companies and…
I heard about the founder on a podcast (= mildly positive feelings for the company) and then a few months later got the spam email (= HATE them forever).

On the other side of the coin, I used them and got to interview with several awesome (and some not so awesome) companies, and all I had to do was post my resume and a picture. That seemed like a pretty good deal to me, but then again, all the recruiters I know work for single companies. What's the best way to meet some that are more like "freelance" recruiters?
Not sure where you are based, but we are building something specifically for freelancers (London first) - check us out at www.yunojuno.com and see if it fits. (Oh, and we're not recruiters either.)

Your site is almost unreadable. Screenshot: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2858326/windows8%2C%20chrome%20-%20...
Looks equally bad w/ Chrome/Safari and Win7. Looks fine in Firefox on Win7.
Renders properly on Chrome and OSX.
A few random site comments: - Posting a picture is a legal minefield for US employers. Companies literally don't want to know anything about your age/race/sex at the screening stage for fear of a discrimination lawsuit. The only safe policy is to ignore/reject all candidate applications with a picture. (It's not illegal for the employer to know or even ask, but it's illegal to make decisions based on such information…
"Posting a picture is a legal minefield for US employers." What about all the recruitment done via Linkedin? Many people have a photo of themselves there.
In the case of DeveloperAuction, I'm assuming that if you have a photo, then the potential employers are going to see it. If a 45 year old with similar qualifications as a 25 year old doesn't get offers from the same companies as the 25 year old, it opens up the potential for lawsuits -- this might be over-simplifying. I'm not qualified to comment on how much standing a lawsuit like this would have, but it's certainly happened in similar situations before. That's why photos are a no-no in recruiting in the U.S.

Replying to you just to keep this bundled together, but this is more for hugorodgerbrown: Looks equally bad w/ Chrome/Safari and Win7. Looks fine in Firefox on Win7. Renders properly on Chrome and OSX.
