I came across another blog posting recently that I just had to point you at by a very credible chap called Ian McNeice, written around the issue of recruitiers not understandign the demanding range of roles a MOSS project might require.

The author had clearly thought very well about the roles a company might need when tackling a MOSS instance, and its amazing how varied they are!

The job boards will list a SharePoint technical architect or a SharePoint developer and occasionally a SharePoint administrator but you will rarely see anyhting else listed as demanded and essential skills.

This kind of problem was very apparent at the recent European MOSS Best Practices Conference where a lack of knowledge around the complexity of Sharepoint was discussed many times over. There are occasional roles for SharePoint project managers and SharePoint business analysts advertised, but very rarely are roles advertised for SharePoint information architects, and almost never for SharePoint strategists and SharePoint programme managers or SharePoint integration specialists. These are very in demand skills and also very hard to find and without the correct skill mix, many MOSS projects go off the rails.

Its an excellent write up and I would suggest you go and read it. The site also has some other excellent postings on it.
