In my searches I found that you were indeed correct except that Headhunter.NET appears to have adopted the new "C#" technology in executing a search. - All of my searches failed except when searching the Headhunter.NET site - Headhunter came back with 2 jobs which included "C#" in the job description. While there may not be many C# jobs out there - it appears that Headhunter.NET is making it easier for job seekers to find these jobs....
