Re: [UG-ADMINS] Recruiters?

At sdphp, we actually don't allow much posting to our mailing list.  For recruiters/businesses looking for developers we have two ways.  

1)  We charge a very nominal fee to post on sdphp.org (which I mention to our group all the time).  
2)  I ask that a recruiter sponsor food at our meetup and they get 5 minutes to address the group that shows up.  

The money from the job postings goes towards group costs which is mostly food on the nights that we don't have a food sponsor.

I am very happy to have placed a handful of people at jobs already.
