As a  professional, we expect you to properly follow these instructions please – otherwise the client will not consider your CV:

  1. Apply only if you really qualify – must have 5+ hands-on experience with the programming environments mentioned above- otherwise, how can you communicate with our fullstack developers???
  2. Tell us explicitly -maybe in a separate sheet, what your relevant experience has been with managing development projects in Javascript, Full Stack Development, Agile/ Scum, etc…
  3. Also per job-entry in your CV, indicate how many people you managed if applicable
  4. Make sure that you reread this Job Description and your CV is highly ‘customized‘.  Statistically, nobody gets 5000+ GHS a month with a generic CV
  5. Send us your highly customized 2-3 page  CV (longer CVs will be rejected since they do not reflect the ability to communicate with brief focused clear sentences)  CV in Word (so NO PDF files please)  to CV @ HIREgh . com (remove empty spaces) with the appropriate heading: ‘Head of Soft Development – Takoradi’  in your email’s subject/ Title line.
  6. Ideally, use Arial font No 10 for all of your CV and Arial No 12 + capitals for your headings
  7. Also, please indicate when is the earlier that you can start
  8. Give us an indication of your current salary package- if you offered the job, you will need to provide proof of that package
  9. Once again: DO NOT SEND a CV that is 3+ pages long. Do NOT send  a CV in PDF format or as GoogleDoc –our ATS is set to ignore CVs longer than 3 pages
  10. Please: No Google Docs either – we do not have permission to open them and getting one from you is too complex
