Hello,

Any ideas on how to reach senior PHP Developers in the tri-state area? We are looking for a partner to step into something that is already established. Launched in 2005, we were the first internet company to develop a truly creative solution to a billion dollar problem in the wireless space. In addition to our innovative flagship property, we have recently launched a new application competing with eBay, craigslist, and other classified communities in the wireless category.

We have a "real revenue" model. :) We need brainpower and fresh talent to make it hum.

The company is made up of a powerful founder entrepreneur duo. We have had numerous top-shelf investment interest, but we need to build out the management team and finish developing the platform.

Our established online community has been featured in every major media outlet you can imagine and multiple times, i.e. CNN, Wall street journal, NYT, Wired, Money, entrepreneur mag, etc.

The person who joins us will be comfortable in a early-stage, pre-VC environment, and have the talent, vision, entrepreneurial, and management ability to drive the company forward.

Thanks for the Help!!!

I am actually asking for alternatives to sites like that. If you notice, I am asking for ideas to reach qualified people for my type of job. Craigslist is a wasteland. I'd have to go through 50 nut jobs to find one gem. There has to be other ways. I have started a meet-up group as well.

Anything else?
