Can someone suggest any online venues to assist in recruiting a senior C programmer (looking for someone interested in working on kerberos code).

I've tried a bunch of the open source and higher ed lists (this is for Univ. of Michigan). The commercial services such as Dice or monster yield a ton of resumes without any programming experience.

Please note I'm NOT a recruiter or a solictor (not violating rule #7) and I'm not ACTUALLY asking folks to contact me about a job (or giving any significant deal on the job). I'm just asking where to post the find people like that.

Hmmm... personally I guess that I see no reason to disallow this this question. I'm swayed in part by the fact that you actually read the rules. But this is a bit borderline and I also won't overrule any other mod who closes the thread.

Any place you go there is going to be a lot a chaff and only a little wheat. My resume is currently on monster and I have decades of C programming experience. Neo has been suggesting LinkedIn and there is an invite in the Members Only Forum to join a LinkedIn Unix Group. I have never tried it, but maybe that is worth a shot. But I have to say that (almost) every time I have been involved in hiring someone we always got a ton of resumes and we had to sift through them all.

Also kerberos woulda been cool 15 or 20 years ago or so. Don't expect senior c programmers to fight over an opportunity to port or maintain very old code. Also, no offense intended, but maybe a different user name would help a little bit...

I've posted a request on linkedin (is there a pointer to getting an invite to the members only forum on linkedin?)

I'm a bit dismayed as I'm NOT getting my usual flood of resumes and those I'm getting have zero C experience. It's a solid job in a good area with challenges and good benefits so I'm unsure what's going on.

The nick is a variation on my name, hopefully folks have a sense of humor (although I don't use it on more professional sites). Thanks for your help.

The members only forum is a forum on this site. It's located very close to this forum. It only has a single thread at present. Read that thread.

As Perderabo suggests, LinkedIn is a good way to search for jobs. There is a job part of the site and you can search and find UNIX/C positions.

You can also post in the Q&A section on LinkedIn and let folks know you are available.
