| Oct 3, 2018 at 15:28 | comment | added | Nils Lindemann | Choose a prominent modern language which fits your use case, convert code written in this language to code written in these anachronistic languages using transpilers which you develop. Clojure and other Scheme dialects are good in creating new languages, they should also be good in creating old languages. To maximize the impact (and minimize development time when the transpilers are written) i would however choose a Javascript or Python style syntax for the input language. As a plus you can sell the transpilers to other companies. | |

| Jul 9, 2018 at 17:51 | comment | added | Madalina Taina | I think the clients ask for Java, but not Java 2 instead of Java4... Anyway, I think you should search for a different reason for the difficulties of hiring because it seems strange to say developers don't want to work in Java or C++ anymore. | |
| Jul 9, 2018 at 7:19 | comment | added | Sentinel | I think it is unhelpful to the community that questions like this should be put on hold as too broad. The question itself is very specific. They have a problem that they need to hire for retro technology. But this problem demands creative suggestions of potential solutions from a wide range of viewpoints. There may in fact be one very specific and superior answer out there and you cannot know there is not. | |

| Jul 6, 2018 at 9:01 | comment | added | Jeremy French | I think that there are some good answers, but it could help you further to post an example of one of your job listings. There could be obvious things that we are not even considering. | |

| Jul 5, 2018 at 12:32 | comment | added | LeopoldT | @kdgregory sorry, I didn't understand. With a few exceptions, clients tell us "this are the technologies, this are specifications, we need this, develop the solutions", sometimes also time and budget are fixed by clients. So, using your definition, we are "a body shop", at least for the great majority of the projects. | |

| Jul 4, 2018 at 17:35 | comment | added | Bernhard Barker | This seems too broad - just about every recruiting technique, employee perk (even if retention isn't your problem - people talk and look for different things in a job and it makes your job description more appealing) and thing that improves the company image would apply here. | |

| Jul 4, 2018 at 16:20 | comment | added | kdgregory | Something that's unclear to me from your question: is your business model placement or outsourcing? I can think of several answers that are relevant to one and not the other. | |
| Jul 4, 2018 at 15:45 | comment | added | Basile Starynkevitch | How large is your company : a few dozens of people, or at least several hundreds of developers? That matters a lot! | |
