Answer 1

If the position is as high level as you suggest, it is worth investing in a good executive recruiting firm. You might also post ads in relevant trade journals and network at trade shows. The DMA (Direct Marketers Association) would be a good place to start. If you want someone with heavy online experience you could also try AdTech, Shop.org and SES.

Answer 2

outsource your work. And split the work up. I live in south african and I help someone with SEO. Use students for odd jobs like viral marketing etc. Also offer students part time jobs untill you are ready to make a permanent discision on what kind of peson you are looking for. Just an idea.

Answer 3

I suggest you search on hotjobs.com for suitable resumes.

Also monster.com
