We are looking for a PHP programmer or developer. And is it realistic to find him for such a RFP in Moscow?

Question

PHP

I am a recruiter. They were given the task of finding a new employee. The employer calls the position "PHP Developer" but has come across people who are correcting for "PHP Programmer". They argue that the developers do not do this. So where is the truth?
Slippers do not need to be thrown. =) My job is to find a person, get a resume, clarify the details and transfer the information to the office so that an in-person interview can be scheduled. I respect techies and don't try to analyze them for competence.
The actual requirements of the employer:
• Experience in developing applications in PHP5;
• Basic knowledge of Unix/Linux
• Experience in developing client-server applications in Erlang or/and Perl as a plus;
• Development experience: HTML5/CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery;
• Development experience: MySQL, Memcached;
• Knowledge of the SMPP 3.4 protocol as a plus;
• Understanding the principles of OOP and the ability to apply them in practice.
What you have to work with (again, a quote from the job description):
• Working server CentOS 6, mercurial, access only via ssh;
• Support for current working PHP/Erlang/Perl code;
• Writing modules with new functionality and embedding them in current projects.
And is it realistic to find a person for such a job for 60-90 thousand (according to the results of the interview) + quarterly bonuses?

Answer 1

Everything is simple. PHP programmer writes PHP code. Not perl code. No, God forbid, erlang (which I personally love a lot , but it requires a different brain). And clearly not JavaScript code. So they fix it for nothing. The original wording, based on the description IMHO, is more accurate.

Answer 2

"PHP developer" doesn't even sound like it, to be honest, but it's subjective. In general, in addition to PHP, other server languages ​​are indicated: Erlang and Perl. Maybe it's "Web Developer"?

Answer 3

Is quite real. I didn’t say that we are talking about some kind of ceiling super skills. The only thing, for Moscow, the rate is, of course, a little underestimated. It seems to me that it corresponds to the level of a not bad independent php programmer, but under your description, the name "web-developer" seems more appropriate to me, i.e. a much broader specialist than just a person who is good at using php and near-php tools.

Answer 4

Experience in client/server development in Erlang or/and Perl as a plus.
Better take it out and write "Desire to learn Erlang or/and Perl in a short time", otherwise you will get Erlang-Perl people who want 130k. Otherwise, you get some kind of combine.

Answer 5

In my opinion, the default set of skills for a job. There are no mandatory confident front-end skills, insein skills in MVC frameworks, and so on.
For such money, it is very likely that you will find. Only hardly leading :-).
