I notice that about 2/3 of these recruiters just lob their jobs postings towards any-old-where, and say only that they want personal help from some unspecified stranger (that would be me) in posting to "your site". I've conversed with some of them, and uniformly they really have no idea what they mean by "site" in this context; they figure you'll work hard to _figure out_ somewhere, as if figuring out where to put their posts is somehow _your_ problem. And they never, ever read documentation.
These people are paid for _what_, again?
(Jim feel free to post this on the SF-LUG page, if you wish. I'm sure she'll get around to you sooner or later, anyway.)

Hi, Marisela.
BALUG doesn't have a real jobs forum, though I can recommend some others nearby -- and balug-announce is mostly for announcements of BALUG events. One exception (see http://lists.balug.org/listinfo.cgi/balug-talk-balug.org): Any firm is welcome post Linux-related jobs listings to the main BALUG list if it simultaneously offers to provide a technical speaker (on a Linux topic) for one of BALUG's monthly meetings in San Francisco.
Aside from that, I can recommend either the SVLUG Jobs mailing list or the equivalent one at BayLISA. URLs are on the page indicated above.
Good hunting!
