[TriLUG] reputable IT recruiters in the area

[Jon Carnes]

I hate to dispute this, since some folks have been hunting for a couple
of years now, but I'm seeing a big upswing in consulting - especially
Open Source consulting. Folks are slowly opening the doors again but the
first guys in are the consultants and temps.

Good Luck to all those still looking (I'm still trying to find an Intern
for this summer at $8 to $12 per hour to program in Python).
