I was able to fill 7 technical positions last summer.  
3 new graduates (all CS degrees), 1 with an Assoc degree in unrelated field (plus a really good interview, and persistence), and 3 experienced (2 with MS in CS as well).<p>Was it effortless?  No, not remotely.  But, hiring an skilled employee shouldn&#x27;t be effortless.  And the positions were filled in time to meet objectives.<p>edit - formatting
