Anyone in the area of Plymouth Meeting PA with computer skills looking for temp work?

It's around 10 hours of work starting at 5PM on 11/10 in Plymouth Meeting PA. You'd be part of a team upgrading a bunch of computers from XP to Windows 7. You have to have some paid experience doing that kind of thing. I know that lots of people have done it at home and are capable but the recruiter is requiring paid experience. I don't have information regarding the hourly rate but I'll put you in touch with the recruiter. Send me a PM with your experience and contact info if you're interested.

I'm not a recruiter but I'll be the team lead and the recruiter has asked me to help him find some workers.

Seems like your company in limping from the Stone Age and taking a bold leap into the Bronze Age.

Are you guys still using floppy discs and CRT displays?

Here's a reference you might suggest - the BIG thing is file preservation because it really is a "clean" installation.

I'm not an employee there. I've been given some temp work as a team lead. I have NOTHING to do with any decisions about what to upgrade to or what the procedures are. That's already been decided and documented. I'm just a warm body with enough experience to be able to lead a team through the already defined steps. If you're in the area, and have some relevant paid experience, PM me and I can pass your contact info to the recruiter.
