gargy, I thought minimum requirements were 1,000 total and 500 on type? The contract position minimums are even higher (1,500 total, 500 on type).

My guess is it reflects the stages our applications have gone through internally speaking, or perhaps the numbers relate to: Definitely, maybe, no (anyones guess which way around).
