Does it involve polishing your amazingly handsome shiny head?

If yes I'm in!!!

Great Opportunity! Hope you find the right person!

Let me know when you're hiring a proofreader. I have an attention to detail that is second to none and work remotely (so you don't have to buy me donuts)

Thanks for the catch. That's what I get for doing my own proofreading!

Do you need to wear pants?

I'm going for more of the matte look these days so it's more of a powdering position.

Good luck! great company to work in i'm sure :)

Respectfully, Sam, I'd encourage you to separate the media buying duties from those of business development. The media buyer can certainly work under the purview of the bizdev candidate, but the position is time-consuming and data-driven.

In order to successfully engage a media buyer, and to see meaningful results, this person will have to be developing experience-driven tests and using sophisticated tools to analyze the results. Having other duties (especially time-consuming duties) means that this buyer won't have the focus to make your media buying successful.

Done properly, and with an appropriate budget, you can make a killing with the right person.

I have a very strong candidate if you need a recommendation, but I know for a fact that they wouldn't want to do it unless that was the sole focus of the position.

is there any access to the private gloryhole included?

About time this question was raised!

Bang on! A media buyer is a full time job and it takes a unique person to be able to do it. I deal with them all day and it's easy to pick out the good ones vs the bad. Tough job.

Good luck on the hunt :D

In my opinion, there's an easy clue on how to spot a bad media buyer: they deal with your company.

Great opportunity! Good luck on your search :]

There is also an easy clue to pick out a shit programmer that talks the world of himself.....or one that thinks he is all of sudden a great MMA fighter.

Here's the difference: my reputation precedes me as a great programmer. I have demonstrated value time and time again to companies in this industry and elsewhere. There's been exactly one person who has had a problem with me, and just by coincidence, it's the guy who owes me $38,000 in unpaid wages.

Here's the other difference: I said IN MY OPINION; you made a claim about me as fact. I'll give you an opportunity to retract it. If not, I hope your U.S.-based revenue streams are well hidden.

Oh you guys, this isn't a Drama thread, Ill put together something for you and send it over but I will have to work remotly

Dom, I am not going to derail Sam's thread so this will be the end of this for me. Let's chat but I can tell you I have nothing to hid. You started this bullshit with your reply. My contact info is in my sig.

Sorry Sam!

Good to see you breaking character and doing the decent thing. I'll accept your public retraction of your libel whenever you're ready.

Ziiiiiing.

how come no answer yet as to access to the gloryhole?

Good luck finding someone Sam. I hope this thread is not your only method of finding the right person ;)

+1 :thumbsup

Good luck

If someone has still a doubt about this offer .... LOL.
It's just a great company and great colleagues !

I hope that all the applicants are fully aware of this.

interesting, I should try that

Regarding the media buying aspect of this position, let me clarify. This is primarily an affiliate sales and business development position as the title suggests. An ideal candidate would have some media buying experience because it relates to the job. If I'm trying to land a potential large publisher as an affiliate, but they are not willing to work in that capacity, my next step will be to see if we can do an ad buy through them. Knowing how to calculate what it will take to back that out and being able to negotiate a reasonable deal based on that math is something that I'd like my biz dev guys/gals to be able to do.

I agree that a true dedicated media buyer is a full time job and I wouldn't ask that type of specialist to do these other tasks. At the end of the day though we are a mid sized company where people do wear multiple hats and my best and most successful employees are ones that have a diverse skill set. It never hurts to look for exactly what you want.

I do always appreciate the input and thanks for the introduction yesterday. I'll be following up shortly!

The private gloryhole is private.

Thanks Alex, I appreciate the kind words.

Good luck! Maybe I should apply...

This is one company and crew I'd love to work with since I'm a huge fan of the Mr. Skin sites.

Wishing the best luck in finding the right candidate!

some very great company...

i'd like to own in this economy)

Wise words from a wise man! You're very welcome.

Which head are you interested in polishing?

I'm pleasantly surprised by the number of quality resumes I've received from this post. Keep them coming. It's been a busy week but I'll be looking them over this weekend and will following up next week.

Sounds like a great position in a great company ... Good luck!

What a wonderful opportunity to work for a solid company in our industry.

got that? share it :pimp

That is a solid example of what professional interviewers refer to as a "key question".

:D

What's the reasoning behind having your portfolio/homepage area as www., but your blog as non-www.? That's really annoying.
