Default Anyone any idea what this one could be..

15 or so testers/managers for public sector contract in the West Midlands starting in the next month. Had an agent on but wouldn't give much away - sounded genuine and not the usual fishing.

Possibly EDS in Telford, they do a lot of PS work for Courts etc. but I haven't heard of anything, so anybody's guess.

I'm not a tester, but it looks like it's easy so I'm up for a punt...

Hi

It is not EDS anymore ( or has it changed back again?) but Aspire ( Gap Gemini) and it sounds like it would be them as they are recruiting for BA's and Testers at the moment.

Worked there several years ago when I lived closer.

EDS do have a presence at Telford. I know someone who works for them on site.
