Any Gentlemen of Involuntary Leisure within reach of, or willing to move
to, Cambridge MA or Menlo Park, CA interested in working for Akamai as a
senior software Q/A engineer?  This guy cold-called me this morning, but
the lack of the requisite 5-7 years in Q/A and test plan development was
a deal-killer.

Hello Phil,

Good to speak with you this morning.  As we discussed, US Recruiting is
on retainer to Akamai Technologies (http://www.akamai.com/)
in Kendall Square Cambridge to support the growth across its
organization. Akamai Technologies has done very well over the past three
calendar years: 12 consecutive quarters of revenue growth, tracking for
300 million in revenue for 2005, premier #1 player in its category and
anticipating 20-30% growth in 2006.

Akamai is actively recruiting for QA talent with Linux / Perl expertise
on both coasts - for Cambridge MA and San Mateo CA.   Phil, let me know
what comes of your conversations with Bonzo Amin and others who may be
employed but intrigued by Akamai's story.

Best regards,


Paul Ferrari
