Of course every situation is different. Some things to consider…1) the possibility of having the person work remotely. A lot of organizations have found great success this way and you end up with a far bigger pool of potential candidates, and 2) I think it’s fair to start your search with your dream candidate in mind, but don’t be afraid to look at people who may not have every single thing you’re looking for. Rather, look for their potential. Is this someone that has the right instincts that you can train in the ways they are ‘lacking’.
Just a couple thoughts there. Hope it helps! PS – what is your community? I know a lot of qualified individuals 🙂

We are in the process of hiring a social media manager but we’re struggling to find qualified candidates in our community. I’m thinking that it might be best to try using an outsourcing website such as Scriptlance, rentacoder or Elance. Anyway, we realize how important it is to have someone managing our social media accounts and your information has helped. Thanks.

Eric
