Well, a few months ago there was a discussion on LinkedIn about job
offers asking for emacs or emacs lisp.

http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=87879&trk=vsrp_groups_res_name&trkInfo=VSRPsearchId%3A241035961382033246381%2CVSRPtargetId%3A87879%2CVSRPcmpt%3Aprimary

I guess if you searched for emacs and programming skills in such a
database, you could find possible candidates.


But as for any specialized skill, keywords searches may not work too
well, so it's probably here you have the best chances of find an emacs
lisp consultant.


You may contact me by email with further information, I may be available
soon for such a task.
