    You take that correctly - the job is real - the description was written by the client - and I don't waste people's time - so if you are interested then please get in touch - if not you may know someone with the skills listed who is looking for a new home.

    I am not looking to 'harvest' CV's - there are no CV's on here - I am asking people who may be interested in a good opportunity to get in touch.

    I'm confused by this: the job title says "mobile", but the description & tags want consoles like "PlayStation, X-box, Sony, Nintendo, PSP" :deadcrab:

    Its very annoying that recruiters don't put the company name ... Personally, more important than money, is the fact that i'd rather not work for arseholes ...

    Agreed. Let's be honest, we're going to find out who it is at some point before accepting the job, and if it's someone with a shocking reputation (or even simply someone we've previously worked for!) it's a waste of time for all concerned to keep it hidden.

    The client name is usually obscured so potential applicants don't read the description and then just go direct to source, cutting out the recruitment agency.

    Congratulations to Mr Sharkey on having the most appropriate name for a recruitment agent ever. ;)

    Blatantly, but we can easily get who it is by doing a search on the specifics anyway. The fact is I will 99% of the time ignore advertisements like this on the basis that they are either A) CV harvesters or B) for people I'd rather stick my own penis up my arse rather than work for.

    That said ... yeah .. Sharkey ... how apt :D

    Seems odd to post this (seemingly well-paid) position in the public "I wanna be..." forum when there's dedicated *professional programming* private forum... Just saying...
    :-?

    That would be because (thankfully), the original poster doesn't have access to that forum, on account of being a recruiter.
