A conversation with one of our Web Developers

Over the next several weeks we will be adding a Web Developer to our On-line team. This position will be filled with a contract to hire candidate which is a little different from the way we normally bring people into our organization.

Contract to hire means that we will be going through one of our vendors who source IT professionals for contract assignments. Unlike a normal contract, this one will allow the candidate, if successful, to convert to regular Pinnacol employment as their contract nears an end. Why bring someone on this way? Primarily because it allows us the opportunity to judge the contractor's work product before committing to the actual hiring decision. This is a fairly common practice in company IT groups and we have successfully used this method in the past with other technical positions.

I had a chance to sit down with Kevin, one of the technical wizards on our on-line team, to get his observations about the work this position will be doing, the nature of the team, and the skills we will be looking for:
