Hi Jeff

Here's an opening [...] in Bala Cynwyd that I think (hope) you will
know someone for.  [Their] business has remained very strong. For the
past seven months, they have been using SCRUM, an agile methodology
which has significantly improved the speed and efficiency of
development there.

Salary is open and competitive. I know their are a lot of these people
floating around in sub par positions who might jump for something better. If
you know anyone appropriate, please have them contact me ASAP. I spoke to
their Director of Development today and told me he has a good ad response,
but has not yet found the ideal candidate. If I come up with a great
candidate soon, he will interview and consider that person.

[...]
