@ShadowBC: We'll be posting a notice here and on social media when we're ready to start accepting resumes.
@AEIOU: Good counsel on the assumptions in general. In this case, we'll be making the job opening widely known.
Also, I specifically have PMs turned off. I use email to monitor the forums, so I often don't see PMs for months after they've been sent. It's better to have them turned off than lead people to believe that I'm intentionally ignoring them.
