Hi,<p>I&#x27;m working for an IT operations consultancy in Germany and we want to hire skilled personell (full employment, half, or contract all possible) in the US. I don&#x27;t know the US market that well, though.<p>Therefore I would like to ask you for some tips. On which websites do you look for people in the US? Which kind of meetings do IT guys use here? I&#x27;m in Atlanta (GA) now, and meetup is a little empty in all areas that are interesting to us. Every topic has a group but there are no meetings planned in any of them. Otherwise I only know that one can post jobs in Stackoverflow.<p>And where would you investigate what reasonable living costs and income would be?<p>Last but not least, taxes. Do you think to gain US employees one would need to open a company here? Would people worry to get a German contract (language can be English, but the contract &#x27;location&#x27; and applied laws would be German)? How much would be reasonable to handle tax topics by professionals in the US for handling 1-3 US based employees?
