There is no doubt the internet has shown its success and profitability when connecting people with professional services; the market is saturated with sites dedicated to finding your next big career break. But take your pick, not one of these top professional “career” or “listing” sites (even those more narrowly focused on IT) is effective at sourcing FileMaker-centric professionals. These sites tout thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of listings as active and available, yet it still remains difficult, time consuming and down-right frustrating to source talent whose primary skill set is in fact FileMaker. Bottom line, if the site fails to provide the basic service of connecting a person seeking FileMaker talent with a FileMaker professional, the numbers and the site itself are rendered meaningless.
The ability of the Internet to connect people is truly incredible, but we knew there had to be a better way, there needed to be a better way to find FileMaker developers. So we isolated the principles of what works, added a pinch of ingenuity and tossed out the rest.
On FFD we’ve eliminated the noise, streamlined the direction, and created a clean-cut no nonsense site focused (very clearly) on three major points:
1) Expanding business opportunities for professional FileMaker Pro developers and expanding the use and reach of FileMaker Pro databases in organizations large and small.
2) Promoting You, the individuals who make magic happen every time they launch FileMaker from their desktop
3) Providing an easy, efficient and effective means of connecting talent seekers with “right” talent
Admittedly, there are no algorithms and no complex formulas. FFD is based on a simple, uncomplicated equation and we know it. We’re FileMaker developers on a mission: to provide a place where talented FileMaker developers can shine, and shine brightly in their respective skill sets. Because we’re developers we have the added bonus of speaking the language. We know showcasing a shallow set of watered-down skills isn’t the answer. We know how to focus on what counts (at least as it relates to the world of FileMaker) and we know not all developers are created equal. When connecting people with the “right” FileMaker professional, we know there are niche categories within the FileMaker development arena that are extremely important to highlight. Our goal is to ensure each developer listed on FFD is served-up full strength, robust and extra bold. Unlike other “career” or “listing” sites, we know FileMaker developers because we are FileMaker developers, just like you. All that said, we want to get your skills front and center, paving the way to your next big break!
The single source dedicated to promoting FileMaker Developers, in the neighboring town, across the nation and around the globe.
