Hello,

We're hiring again. We now have some massive clients onboard and need to expand to meet the growing needs of the business. Clients include two large multinational media groups and Europe's most prestigious, performance car manufacturer. We also have smaller clients who need even more designer flair too.

Everything from Web Design, CSS, Adobe Suite to Print. RGB to CMYK, we do it all. I guarantee you will learn to up your game from wet-behind-the-ears web n00b to Judo-style-web-ninja - or if you're already a web ninja you can come along and teach us something instead!

Either way you'll get paid based on your experience.

We're looking for anyone with a great portfolio and bona fide designer flair.

We are also looking for a Junior Web Developer, and a Senior Systems Administrator, if you happen to be of those camps.

Details and how to apply:

Codeweavers Recruitment

We cannot accept contractors, freelancers or remote working overseas applicants (unless you are willing to relocate) as this is a permanent position.

Cheers

Being classed as "lightweight" by my company, would really make me want to work there

I thought Lightweight was the preferred term to "Junior" for designers? I'm a developer so my career path starts at junior. I always thought the whole naming convention was a bit vague anyway, its only a fancy way of trying to get a broad range of applicants.

Why not "designer" and "senior designer". Point out what people have, rather than what they don't. There was a fairly well publicized survey that came out a few years ago that said the majority of workers, if given the choice, would prefer a better job title, over a small pay rise. I'm a developer too (or at least I used to be). My career path never started at 'junior'.

We originally angled the position as "web designer" because this is generally what you are considered when working in the post, but we found that people had too high expectations of the position from the job adverts. We then went with "Junior Designer" and got people that were graduates, just starting out or with no commercial experience... which is what we were after. We have since kept with advertising with the different classifications to get better search results. We're now after a graduate/new starter AND someone with commercial experience so I've tried to angle the ad's title to cover all bases.

It's interesting to see the reaction of people based on this though, and I hope it can teach other recruiters lessons
