The folks on this list are currently working on a startup of their own but are available for part-time work. Please DO NOT contact any of the people below unless you are interested in hiring them. Hi. I'm a leaf node at a medium-sized tech company in the Seattle area. We're growing rapidly, hiring FTE positions, and quite probably willing to "roll on" temporary people during certain demand spikes. I assume I am or my manager is your target. The <H1> sized disclaimer at the top has me scared, so I have a few questions: 1) Is it ok to contact people on the list to solicit their willingness to go FTE with our company? If it's ok in principle, perhaps a dropdown with {please do not, unstated, please do} options regarding this preference could be offered so I can tell which ones are going to just get pissed at me. 2) I have a lot of work to do, but I can't assess fit through a short bio. Is it ok to contact people that sound like they may be a decent fit to "interview" them prior to having any particular task lined up for them? I am busy and am not going to walk the combinatorial explosion of each of these people and each of my tasks to decide before emailing someone if it might be worth "going on a date". However, calling with no task in hand walks the line of sleazy headhunterness if done wrong (which is going to be a problem either way next time the economy picks up). I want to follow the rules of your site. Thanks.
