Wheedle looks for cheap Indian web developers for fix
Wheedle has upped its search for staff despite a lack of online activity, advertising for two web developers in India.
The stricken Trade Me rival, still reeling from the shutdown of its new site just two days after its official launch, posted the advert yesterday on an employment website, describing itself as a "company enjoying strong growth."
Branding themselves as a "successful online web service business," it is unknown how long the advert will stay online given the new-found circumstances the start-up firm now faces.
As reported on TechDay yesterday, Wheedle permanently closed it's site after a second day of maintenance trouble.
The Christchurch based company posted “Due to unforeseen technical problems we have postponed further activity on the website. Thank you for all your support, it has been tremendous. We will be back soon.”
