Jim, understood. On the other hand, the ALE Jobs list is a great resource for recruiters. They<br>
would probably pay a little to subscribe. Maybe more if the person was "vetted" by peers.<br>
<br>
That said, where the money goes and how to define "vetted" is up for grabs. I'm much better at<br>
helping people plot a course for improvement than figuring out how to build a business.<br>

The local (grumble grumble..) .NET/ASP users group often has a regional recruiting company as a sponsor. At a minimum, they show up with pizza and beverages and get a short plug at the meeting. Sometimes they are involved with or support the costs of the guest speaker. I haven't been for a while, but during a few months there seemed to be competition between Modis and a couple of other agencies and the offers to be a sponsor got fairly plush. ie: Food, beverage, a respected industry speaker, schwag and demo software to give away...<br>
<br>
When I was involved in AITP and ASTD, similar things happened.<br>
I miss the days of "death by chocolate" being sponsored by Cisco.<br>

We've tried this at Chugalug's, but it has not worked out the same.<br>
Different social and professional group? Less organized?<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
