Little help here please!
My name is Rachael and I am a recruitment consultant for software developers across Scotland. Being honest, I am fairly new to the market and still trying to wrap my head around it! My core patch is Embedded C and C++ so reckoned this might be a good place to start for the C++ side of things!
If anyone has any information about C++ (that breaks things down in a slightly less technically-mided manner) then could you please give me an insight to this language, it's core uses and how it currently sits in the market. Where is best to look for more informaion? What conferences are coming up in Scotland, and what key companies take on C++ Developers?
Any information you guys can provide me with would be amazing as I am keen to really understand my market inside and out before I start helping developers to get contract work in Scotland.
Thank you!!!

Thank you, this has been quite helpful in explaining the basics of C++. I am also looking to get thoughts from the people who use this technology day in/day out and who understand the current market... ie, you guys. Looking to know exactly what skills the candidates I will place need to posess and what those skills mean. Thanks again.
If you're clients are the programmers then one of the most important "skills" for them to posess will be telepresence. That is the ability to work half way around the world without leaving their home office. This will open them up to many more clients then would otherwise be avalible to them. Globalization, unfortunatly, is not something that we can fight but it isn't locking people out of the job market just yet.
So making sure they have acess to some form of reliable high-speed internet is important, they should have a clean and presentable home office and maybe something formal to wear in case the client wants a video conference, the ability to facilitate that video conference so web cam, mic, so on and obviously their own home computer. They should at least have the ability to travel so a acess to a laptop would be a plus for them. I would even go as far as to suggest a secondary internet connection like a cell-phone modem but this maybe something they can pick up later rather then a must have now.

I was chalking it up to a confidence problem, it's common enough especially in new startups. They probably could just google all of this information but I can understand the want to have answers to your specific questions.
I guess it comes down to: what's the harm in answering her questions?
