Frequently Asked Questions

What is ChicagoRuby?

ChicagoRuby is a group of Ruby on Rails enthusiasts working together to strengthen their knowledge of software development. Our motto: When smart people challenge each other to grow, great things happen. Visit ChicagoRuby.org for details.

Why should I post a job opening on the ChicagoRuby Job Board?

In four short years, ChicagoRuby has grown from six people meeting in a suburban library to a membership of 1,300+. ChicagoRuby is an active and attractive place for software professionals who seek continuous improvement. We host three events each month and three annual conferences.

ChicagoRuby attracts some of the sharpest minds in the software development community. If you are building a software team, this is the audience you want to reach.

What does the ChicagoRuby Job Board offer?

Employers can post one job for 60 days for two hundred fifty dollars ($250). This price will remain in effect through the end of 2011.

When will my posting appear on the job board?

All payments are handled online. Your posting will appear within seconds after your online payment is processed. Please contact us immediately if you experience a problem.

I'm not looking for Ruby devs. I need devs who know Objective-C, Python, or Clojure. Where should I post?

Post here. The best developers are multi-lingual. Many developers come to Ruby from other languages, and they continue to study new languages as they grow more advanced with Ruby.

Another remarkable thing about the Ruby community: Several people who started off as designers have morphed into developers, and the reverse is also true. Whether you're looking for a designer, developer, or a hybrid of the two, the ChicagoRuby Job Board is a great place to launch your quest.

What is the refund policy?

Our product is a job posting. Since the service is delivered immediately after payment, we do not offer refunds. At the same time, we want posters to be happy with the ChicagoRuby Job Board. We want you to tell your colleagues about the experience. If you run into a problem here, please contact us at support@chicagoruby.org and we will work with you to solve the problem.

What is your privacy policy?

We take privacy very seriously. We do not sell names or email addresses. Of course, any information that you make available through a job posting will be publicly viewable on the web. After all, this is a job board!
