I am not sure this is an appropriate topic here, but I need to hire some freelance editor for a short term project and I would love to be able to find great candidates who are "liberals".
I would like to spend my money on people who share my convictions, and try to "keep it in the family" by supporting those who I think are fighting the good fight.
But maybe this is not appropriate when hiring, it gets to close to discriminating against people for their political beliefs.
Since I use elance.com to outsource this kind of piece work on an ad hoc basis already, it just seemed a shame I couldn't direct my investment to people in the progressive community.
So could a site like hiringliberally.com work? If I made such a site, it would be free for both job seekers and employers. As an employer, I can tell you that all other sites in this sector charge the employers a hefty sum for small businesses like mine.
