Brief Description
SolidPHP, Inc. are looking to hire a number of PHP developers to develop a number of small scripts and fulfil our custom programming contracts. You should be experienced in writing clean, manageable, commented code as well as interacting with and using MySQL databases. We are looking to form long term relationship’s with a number of programmers in order to complete our projects. We are looking for programmers who are used to working remotely and independently as well as working as part of a larger team working towards a common goal.

Duties
SolidPHP, Inc are currently looking to expand our services and product range as well as completing our backlog of custom programming contracts which have been piling up over the past number of weeks. As a PHP developer you will report to SolidPHP Inc’s Operations Manager. Your duties would include:

• Developing scripts for future resale by SolidPHP, Inc.
• Developing or updating scripts used internally
• Developing, testing, completing or editing scripts being custom developed for our clients
• Coding clean, efficient and commented PHP code at all stages
• Testing new releases to our current and upcoming new scripts.

Detailed Requirements
Before you will be eligible for a position, you will need to meet the following requirements:

• Good communication and time management skills. You must have good written English skills.
• Ability to be contacted via email as well as instant messaging services (AOL instant messenger preferred, but Yahoo, MSN or ICQ are fine).

Future prospects
We are a fast growing company and so there will be the opportunity to move to a more senior position and take on a larger role within SolidPHP, Inc in the future. We will shortly be expanding into new areas and so we will require talented, like-minded and enthusiastic individuals to manage and grow these new areas.

Payment
Payment will be made via Paypal based upon the number of hours worked. We are however flexible on payment and are more than happy to discuss payment terms with the chosen developer.

We've received countless applications, so I'm pretty sure the email address works. You can however just PM me your application.

I'll quote my reply to your email here:

Hi Dennis,

We are still receiving and reviewing applications. Once we have short listed the ones we are interested in talking further with, we will reply to everyone else. A large number of people have already been rejected and emailed about it. If you haven't been emailed it's because we're still considering your application.

When you receive over 100 applications, it takes time to sift through them.

Regards,
Alasdair Stewart,
SolidPHP, Inc.

We didn't just post this here, we posted it on a number of places. I've had computer issues the past week and a half which hasn't helped either, nor the fact we are getting ready to release two major product updates and a brand new product. These things take time.

At the moment, we have 3 'categories' for the applications:
1. Rejected (people are emailed if they get moved here)
2. Shortlisted (emailed with further questions and for contact methods)
3. Not reviewed yet

Without checking my records, your application is currently in the 3rd category around with 20-25 others. Please consider yourself moved to the first category.

Nice approach to selecting people I think. Good luck!
