ColdFusion Developer Needed

I'm really not persuaded that "job postings" are the right use of this forum.

Furthermore:  nearly every programmer-job search posting seems to boil down to the same three (rather useless, IMHO) requests:

• We want to find a really nice guy-or-gal who knows what s/he is doing, dresses nicely, gets along with others, blah blah blah ...
• All that we're saying about what we're looking for is that they can fix and document and maybe write code, figure out requirements, and actually talk to people who don't stitch <cf...> tags onto their T-shirts and baseball caps.
• We really want to find a really nice guy-or-gal.  Who knows <insert product_name here.>  Oh yeah, and we're really nice people too, even though if we do actually know what we want to do, we're not saying...  (We want you to be curious.)

Which is approximately like making a nation-wide search for "construction foreman needed ... must know how to use hammer and nails."

If you are looking for a staff member, e.g. in Massachussetts,  then by all means say so and do not look anywhere "out of town."  No one beyond the age of twenty-two is really going to pack up their dorm room all their belongings and move themselves and their family to one of the most expensive States in the Union for what may turn out to be a few month's gig doing Cold Fusion hacking.   They're out there, whether your local recruiters (who, for all you know, might really be in Bangladesh) know how to find them.  You'd probably do better to place an ad in your local newspaper.  Or better yet, the Yellow Pages under "Software Design Services."

"Telecommuters" figure out soon enough that "out of sight is out of mind," at least to the Accounts Payable department.

If you are looking for a contractor, then please treat it just like you do with the construction trades.  You'll start by engaging a "general contractor," who will be an established company (with ample references) and you will pay them to develop the specifications and binding estimates for you.  Expect to wait for them to be available.  You'll then engage them to supervise the execution of the work, which they will contract ... not merely to perform, but to deliver.  The general contractor will require contractually binding specifications, and an up-front non-refundable deposit as well as progress payments.  They will, in return, issue a limited warranty upon the work.  Expect also to pay an ongoing fee for support and maintenance, "essentially forever" since that is the reasonably expected service-life of a software application.

I'm not trying to be unduly harsh here, but, "if you search like a tyro, you'll find a tyro.  The pros will avoid you."  They're busy meeting the needs of their established customers and most of the time don't need the work.  But a truly well-reasoned Request for Proposal always stands apart from the usual drabble.  I know this because I myself ran a company that did this (quite successfully, thankye...) for more than twelve years in the Phoenix area, before winding-up that company and moving on to different things.
