[socal-piggies] Looking for two Python Developers

[Jonathan Chen]

Philip Southam,

Sadly, I'm not applying for this job, but I have a small question if you are
able to answer on how successful you have been with hiring people for this
position? My company might be looking into starting a Python team, but we
are not sure about the ability to find people within the greater-LA area for
this position. Thanks for any information you can give.
