From the Seattle PI, 4,400 recruits join Microsoft; hiring likely to keep up pace:
The addition of 4,400 people worldwide represents a boost of 68 percent in the company's annual hiring rate. Microsoft had added about 2,600 employees in the previous year. The company says it plans to add a net total of 4,000 to 5000 new employees worldwide in the coming year.
(Correction: 4399 new employees, plus one recruit who really just eats the free candy all day long.)
There are many new people, yet we're having trouble finding enough talented people to fill the open positions in our group. It's holding us back in many ways.
Know anyone?

Hmm, maybe. Though the security dogs can usually smell an Apple user from 100 paces. You might have trouble getting past them.

First, then how'd you make it by?
Second, I want that candy eating job. It'll involve a lot of sacrifices on my part, but I'm willing to do it and become part of a bigger team.
