Dear Eric,

I am an IT Recruiter looking for PHP Developers for an exciting
opportunity in the Las Vegas NV area. I am looking for people really
passionate about PHP technology! The company is a technology innovator
and are known for being the top technology company in Las Vegas. If you
have any interest, I want to talk to you! Don't worry, they are helping
with relocation if you are not in the NV area. I am requiesting your
help, therefore offering a REFERRAL BONUS if you should point someone my
way that is hired. This company is growing, therefore adding more
developers!!! The salary is based on your experience level.

If Las Vegas doesn't work, how about Kansas City or Dallas? Please
contact me for details. I am very excited to speak with you regarding my
opportunities! Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to
speaking with you!

This being 2007 and all I get quite curious why so many businesses are
still trying to follow the archaic physical location infrastructure. I
mean sure, I can see it if you need to set up machines, or make the boss
some coffee, but for programming, running DB queries, etc... it's seems
somewhat asinine.

Perhaps you as a recruiter could explain the rationale a bit. I mean I
have clients across north America and in Europe, we've never experienced
any problems. Sure there were times they wanted to take me out for
beers, but I settled for some quality time with my family instead. I
don't have to commute, my monthly transit bill is about $50 CAD
(groceries, swim lessons for the kids, etc), and I'm almost always
within reach when problems occur (though I don't use IMs since they are
annoying little beasts).

I realize you're just a recruiter, but does this ever come up in
discussion with your clients?

Cheers,
Rob.
