There’s a great post on Redeye VC about targeting ads at employees of big Internet companies. While Josh Kopelman was focused on finding ex-employees interested in  starting a company, his approach (which is very clever and like most good ideas ‘duh-inducing’) strikes me as a great way for recently funded startups to find disgruntled developer talent.

I decided to test Facebook’s targeting mechanism by running targeted ads to employees of large Internet companies — including Yahoo and Microsoft.

In Seattle, if you’re looking for .NET talent, poaching from Microsoft is a way of life and buying employer-targeted ads on Facebook and LinkedIn might be a great way to go.

Thanks for a great post, Josh.
