R in Industry
Conversely, unqualified(*) candidates are nearly guaranteed to find support scarce here. More seriously, free job boards, highly targeted like the one proposed do seem to get enough traffic to make it worth the effort to post there. One example serving the US market for market research is here: http://quirks.com/jobmart/search.asp Heck, it could even become a revenue resource for the R Project foundation if members and supporting institutions got little gold stars with their postings or some such.

"... two main drawbacks of R at our firm (as viewed by our IT dept) are lack of guaranteed support as well as the difficulty in finding candidates. -- Just an aside: "lack of guaranteed support" -- absolutely true in theory, absolutely false in practice. I doubt that the voluntary support found on r-help and other R lists can be matched by the "guaranteed" support of any commercial software product. Not that this makes a difference to the IT group's requirements, of course... Cheers, Bert
