Thanks to both Chris and Peter for their tips/advice.
I'm familiar with the ThoughtWorks DevOps hiring presentation Yes,
cultivating talent is good preferred. We've already got some good puppet
knowledge on the team; we're not so much looking to hire "because we
need Puppet knowledge" as we're looking to grow our engineering and
automation teams from ~11 people to almost 20, and we've made a big
enough investment in Puppet that hiring at least one specifically for
advanced Puppet skills is desired.
Thanks,
Jason

No idea on job boards these days, but in 2008 I was hired as a systems
administrator based on my application to a job posted on workopolis.com. (I
hadn't heard of puppet at that point.)
I notice that places I read like http://highscalability.com offer sponsored Job
Openings posts, for example:
http://highscalability.com/display/Search?moduleId=4876569&searchQuery=job+openings
Also more companies are running their own infrastructure blogs, with an "if you like
this we're hiring" tagline. To wit:

But finally, a puppetconf 2013 presentation suggested you have your own
existing talent do things, which sounds like your best bet:

Is there a puppet jobs list or board anywhere? (not jobs at PL, jobs
dealing with Puppet)
If not, where would you advertise/post (or look, I guess) for engineers
with strong puppet skills, both on the usage/admin side, and skilled
ruby devs (preferably with some Puppet experience)?
We'er hiring, and having abysmal luck with wherever our internal and
external recruiters have posted.
Thanks for any tips/ideas,
Jason
