Splunk Administrator

[cloud9slounge]

RMS is a Client and user of Splunk products. We are having difficulty in supporting Splunk internally, and finding an Administrator. My question is there a proven resource to find such talent? We have used the obvious tools online but frustrated with the pool of candidates applying.
What I'm looking for: Design, support and maintain the Splunk infrastructure in a highly available configuration. Standardize Splunk forwarder deployments, configurations and maintenance across a variety of UNIX and Windows platforms.

Your help is appreciated, and my apologies if this posting is not appropriate for this forum.

If you specify Splunk administration experience as one of your requirements through normal recruiting channels, and challenge candidates to provide evidence of a track record, why would it be any different from recruiting any other skill set? Splunk is long past being a niche product.

(And no, this isn't a recruitment forum.)
