Nude House tech job ad

Regular readers of Techgoss are well aware that a large number of our articles are crowd sourced.  People send in tips, story ideas and even articles. Many of our contributors have full times jobs in IT-ITES, and so prefer using a pseudonym.  A Tipster wrote in

Is there any IT work that cannot be outsourced to India?  We started our careers as coders where a Business Analyst in USA sent us the specs and we wrote up the code.  Slowly, we moved up the value chain and today Indians can create an end to end ERP system. American and European companies can outsource any computer system to us and it will be done cheaper and better than what it will be done back home.

But there is one tech company in England which may have a problem recruiting Indians in Hyderabad, Bangalore and Gurgaon to work for them.  If they try recruiting in Tier 2 cities like Jaipur and Chandigarh, they will be shooed (or worse) out of town.

This English company is called Nude House and its principal software is called 'Move your Mouse', which represents what the user has to do and is encouraged to do. Every picture on the customer's web site can be 'enhanced' by placing lots of 'hot-spots' on it.

Everyone in this English software house works nude.  Software Company Nude House has just advertised for ‘Web-Coders - Girls only’.  The Ad reads ‘We need a number of nude web coders to work on preliminary web pages for customers using the toolkit of facilities we provide them. The work is totally dependant on the customers having a need but you never meet the customers and they will not know you are nude. We will pay you £2,000 each month for 5 full days per week. You should be a practising naturist. ‘

Nude House even has its own Twitter account which links back to their website which has images of staff ‘getting dressed after work’.

Will they every set up an offshore unit in India?  Somehow, I don’t think so.
