First time commenter. The best way to find talented folks is to continuing working with talented people you've already worked with. If that doesn't work, ask the folks you are or have worked with for introductions. If that doesn't work,go to events and recruit someone interested who does what you need done. i find that this is a better strategy that opening up the cattle call for interviews. That said, definitely good to go out recruiting with all kinds of diversity in mind. You don't want the whole team to reflect your background, beliefs, etc. Unless you do, of course. But I wouldn't. ;) Love your blog. First time commenter.

I'd rather be a "valuable resource" than be the "data management bitch" you are looking for in your job descriptions. The “people are not resources” meme is getting old and tired.

Just search for keywords like "I'm a PHP Programmer" and what not. You can even search by location and everything. I've found it a great way to find good people who are internet savvy. Good luck!
