Hello all, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction as I've had a really tough time finding a developer in Detroit to join our team? Have you had a good experience with any companies that might have an inside track to talented Drupal developers?

Thanks, our company and the projects we work on is cutting edge and very fun and rewarding, so I'm surprised I've had this much trouble.

Sincerely,

David

Director of Digital Initiatives

I do believe I have seen you posting for this request a few times now, hopefully you are able to connect with the right resource in our local community. We just scheduled our next meetup, and that will be a prime opportunity to meet local Drupal talent and scout for a good candidate.
