I've been trying to hire a few positions for my company and I can't seem to tap into a decent source of applicants for two positions so I thought I'd put them out the Rennlist community - you all know people (friends, nephews, etc.) If I hire a referral of yours I'll buy you $500 of slope-saving upgrades.

Steve,

You might have trouble filling the RSM job. There are lots of software sales people but probably few (to extremely few) in Canada that have experience selling social platforms, they'd all be in the US. You might have to adjust your expectations there.

Keith,

(Back from vacation)

We do hire in the US as well (Chicago and Washington, DC currently) but would perfer to locate a Toronto based person for this go around.

When you suggest that we should adjust our expectations...did you have a suggestion as well?

cleanme

I'd suggest checking out University of Waterloo's Co-op , loads of talent coming out from there especially w/ the mandatory Engineering Co-op

I'd apply but not enough experience.

PPo

...just to pile on, we are looking for for developers, consultants, BA, and PMs with SharePoint and/or Dynamics CRM and/or .Net and/or general Microsoft experience. If you are a strong professional in the IT world with other technologies, we are interested as well if you have the thirst to learn...

Any leads that result in a hire will certainly be compensated appropriately....

Please PM me for company name etc. Not a recruiter, I just need more talent!

Actually, these are our non-developer positions - we also have positions for LAMP developers (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP).

akw

Well if you have developers you must need testers/test managers/test directors
