See Skillfair Members on LinkedIn

One of the nice things about Skillfair is the feedback and comments we get - all of which help us to keep in touch with what you're doing. Some of the comments on this blog have developed into quite extensive and useful discussions as well.

The Skillfair website has been around for quite a while now and over the last 6 months or so we've started to redevelop it to allow us to make use of the kind of facilities that are now available on the web, such as blogging, tweeting etc. The first phase will focus on encouraging more clients to post projects on the site and making sure that information about consultants is readily available to them.

While working on the site we've spent a lot of time considering whether to build a forum or discussion facility - in the end we've decided that it makes more sense to piggy back on a system that many people in consulting already use, so we've set up a members-only Skillfair group on LinkedIn.

The group facility allows you to discuss issues of interest, post news items and network with other Skillfair members and also provides an alternative way to access our tender & project feeds. LinkedIn users will be able to see that you belong to Skillfair alongside any other affiliations you may have.
