[consulting] Hiring People

[Michael Haggerty]

Trellon is growing and I am giving a lot more thought to how our team is
composed. Something I want to do is hire an internet strategist. This would
not necessarily be a programmer, but someone who can really understand the
goals clients are looking to accomplish and advise them on the best ways to
get there. This person would craft strategy documents, review projects under
development to make sure they are really meeting the client's goals, and
keep things organized outside just the production of a Web site.

The problem is I don't really know how to recruit for this position. I have
spoken to people with a lot of experience in specific areas, but finding
someone who is a generalist and knows enough about a lot of things seems to
be a tall order. It looks like this kind of work especially appeals to
project managers, but it's not really a production role so much as a client
relations role. It's hard to convey the difference.

Wondering if anyone on this list has any advice...

Thank you,
Michael Haggerty
