Good morning folks!

I have an urgent need for two intermediate PHP developers (1.5 - 2 years), no degree required, but needs to have demonstrable equivalent work experience. These are currently slated as 6 month positions (likely to be permanent) with a rapidly growing and very exciting company. I know it sounds clichéd, but if you like a fast paced environment you will love it here.

So if you are in the San Antonio TX area or know of someone who fits the bill please send them and their résumé's my way. Forward this to others. I need to get these butts in seats within the next few days. Telecommuting contracts are not currently an option. Please e-mail me off-list about questions.
