Hi Stuart, <div><br></div><div>Looks like you're looking for permanent staff, what sort of package are you offering? I know most of the time it's dependant on experience, maybe show some perks and salary range. It seems very cold to have to ask this on an initial email if there was some interest. I'm sure a lot of readers here would like to know the same.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks, Ken<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jun 29, 2012 at 10:50 AM, Stuart Dillon <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:stuart@lovethis.com" target="_blank">stuart@lovethis.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
