    Anyone actually find one through Craigslist?

    Yep. After I got my CISSP cert about 6 years ago, my wife spammed my resume out to every job she could find. The one I took was an $85k security engineer gig in Denver, and it came from Craigslist. They flew me out from Dallas for the interview, and relocated us here two weeks later. I never would have even thought to look for jobs on Craigslist.

    Our recruiting dept. using craigslist sometimes. I have hired a few applicants that have come in from CL. There is a lot of scams on there but not all of them.

    My client uses CL almost exclusively for job postings.

    My shop manager was hired through a CL add. My next employee will be a tech, kinda, so wont come from CL. Getting a half trained shop monkey from one of the tech schools so that I can make sure any bad habits they have are MY bad habits, not something they picked up elsewhere. But I am very very happy with Shannon (shop manager) and have had good success hiring from CL. I hired someone else from CL at my last shop.

    Best way to get in to see me at the shop is to call or email Shannon and make an appointment.

    I've found a few PT jobs since retirement on there.

    Of course I had to sort through a LOT of chaff with the applications... A LOT.

    I'm not surprised. I buy and sell through Craigslist and for a decade have relied on CL almost exclusively to advertise my rental property. For a while I was using both newspaper classifieds and CL but quickly learned that legitimate replies came almost entirely from CL, about 10:1. Newspapers priced themselves out of the market when it cost $150-$300 to place a 30 day ad. CL is the major resource for renters and landlords.

    Paid listing on craigslist is completely different from the free side. At$35 per post, craigslist's Job listings are as legit as they can be.

    We hired, and I have looked for opportunity through CL before. It's good.
