Web developers like smog!

We have just managed to find ourselves a new web developer to join our team. Doesn't sound like exciting news, but we have been suprised by how hard it is to find somebody decent.

There are certainly no shortage of agencies out there who hound you on a daily basis, but the quality of some of the candidates has been dissapointing. The agencies admit themselves that it is very hard to find decent developers who are available.

It makes it worse when you are based in a lovely part of the country, rather than a smoggy city. Seems most good developers want to work for large companies in large cities rather than taking a risk with a small company with big plans.

Are you a web developer? Let me have your thoughts - what do you look for in a company?
