What does it mean to be a marketing specialist?

What is the best resource to find an entrepreneurial, technology, web marketing, social media specialist for a product ready to launch?

• We are seeking a young technology and social media marketing guru to partner with for several projects (the first of which is ready to roll). We are using this concept as a mechanism for identifying the perfect entrepreneurial candidate for a long term relationship.

• Answer:

  Advertising the position on LinkedIn offers you an affordable (<$200) way to  target people who by virtue of being on the site are more likely to be web/social media savvy and it affords you a very fast way to evaluate a candidate's beyond the resume by seeing their activity on LinkedIn (status updates, questions answered, group membership, etc...) You can also easily tap your LinkedIn network and ask them to tap their network by offering a referral bonus. I have hired a few people this way and have been very happy with the results. http://www.linkedin.com/jobs/post?trk=tab_hire
