About DelphiJobs@ADUG
DelphiJobs@ADUG is a service to Delphi developers, recruitment agencies and employers of Delphi
people which was established in July 2000. It is a fee-based service which allows Delphi roles to be advertised to the ADUG membership and to non-members who have registered with the service.
Placing an advertisement
We charge $60 to place a single ad which is emailed directly to
each DelphiJobs@ADUG list member. The ad can contain as much or
as little detail about the position as you like. It can contain
hyperlinks to your web site for more information, but must
otherwise be in plain text only.
You can place an advertisement online through the ADUG registration system. Select the registration option
"I want to submit a Delphi job advertisement", then provide your advertisement and other registration details.
Payment can be made at the time of registration by credit card (preferred).
Otherwise payment can be by EFT or cheque and must be within 7 days.
This is a highly targeted form of advertising and has proven to be one of the most successful ways of recruiting Delphi people in Australia.

Suggestion on writing an ad to get the best response
The registration system asks for
three main pieces of information specific to the advertisment:
Your email address for people to respond to.
A 10 word subject line. These 10 words will determine whether
or not the body of the ad gets read.
A good subject line would be:
Delphi contract, Melbourne
CBD, D6, Oracle & SOAP A subject
line that will not attract readers would be:
Sensational role with growing international company
The advertising copy can ideally contain 100-200 words and will
provide information about the position including location and a description of the technology.
For example:
'Gain experience in Delphi 5 writing distributed systems using DCOM and XML with large corporate based in Sydney CBD'
is
likely to get a good response.
ADUG guarantees to forward the advertisement to registered users of DelphiJobs@ADUG within one business day of accepting the advertisement copy. ADUG makes no warranties regarding the number of responses the advertisements
generate, however our experience has been that most ads will
receive a good cross section of candidates and the majority of
roles advertised with ADUG have been filled by one of the ADUG
respondents.
