Craigslist can be useful. After failing to get any serious applicants from GFY and readers of other industry boards in the local South Florida area, I recently placed the same ad on Craigslist for a part time employee (probably leading to full time pretty quickly) to help me out with video editing, video encoding, and assisting me in my office and I received about fifteen responses in a week. Most of them had some qualifications and experience with video editing. I ended up hiring a nice young man who just graduated last year from a pricey digital media college here in South FL and who just lost his video editing job with a sports related web 2.0 startup due to the venture capital falling through. He is getting up to speed pretty quickly here as he is familiar with the apps I use like Premiere Pro and Sorenson Squeeze. Only costing me $15/hr, same as my other part time employee. I am teaching him a lot, hope he lasts!
