I see you worked for Jardine. I own a company that is also a SEMA member, and for those programmers out there looking for work, most of the members of SEMA could use advanced technical help. SEMA.org is the automotive aftermarket industry group and is for the most part not very technical. In other words they need a lot of help. They just launched a big initiative this year that has the bold goal of standardizing industry data, so they are just now getting into the computer age with gusto (to be fair, many larger companies have been using EDI for years).

Sorry for wandering off topic. I have used a method similar to your "waffles" technique when hiring for positions. It reduces the 100's of applicants for a job down to a few, simply because most people won't read your postings clearly. It has saved me hundreds of hours in the recruitment process.
