Tangential matter is the lifeblood of all mailing lists.
Word of mouth, friends-of-friends, the jungle drum. Not recruiters, at least if you're looking for capital-I Internet people. In my last job the company used several recruitment agencies in trying to fill its vacancies, but we never got anything even remotely suitable as far as Internet engineers went. It may be that you can find a recruiter that will actually listen to both you as well as potential candidates, but all the ones I've dealt with haven't progressed beyond checkbox sorting -- any CV that doesn't score 9 out of 10 checkboxes (CCblah, etc) on the top of page 1 go straight in the bin. And some don't even go to that lenght of effort. Ask for a Network Engineer and they'll drown you in "Excellent MCSE, very strong, superior skills" type CVs. Go to NANOG (or RIPE in Europe) and possibly IETF meetings, and schmoooooooze ... -- Per [I see some familiar names in the Nanog digest. Yes, it's me.-]
