Hello,

Happy New Year!

My name is Elise Holland and I am one of the owners of a boutique
recruiting agency (TriNova). One of our clients (described below) is
looking for a talented OO Perl developer to function as their lead Web
developer. I think this is a wonderful opportunity for the right person
as it's an interesting, niche-oriented company with a fun,
intellectually-stimulating crew of people on board. Given that they are
in Berkeley, I thought that someone in your users group (Oakland PM) may
be interested in hearing about this.

Is this something you might be interested in? Or, do you know anyone who
may be interested? I would be happy to provide more information, if so.
Also, my firm gladly pays referral bonuses if we place your referrals.

Thank you so much in advance for any help.

All the best,
Elise
