Drupal Job Board

I am new to Drupal but am otherwise an experienced software developer. I am currently implementing a new web site using Drupal and need help in developing some custom functionality for the site. I believe that it will none of the available Drupal modules will provide the required functionality out of the box (but you are welcome to prove me wrong). Therefore, I seek the services of a experienced Drupal module developer for this work.

High-Level Scope

The site will be an informational portal for a large metropolis. It will provide articles and recent news about a variety of business oriented categories (such as setting up a new company, relocation, visa requirements, finding housing, etc.). I would like to implement functionality that will enable the following RFP-like process at the site:

* Local businesses (or service providers) who provide relevant services may enroll with the site and associate themselves with one or more category. For example, an immigration lawyer may enroll and associate with the "visa requirements" category. The enrollment will have different tiers (basic, premium, etc.) that will differ in the type of information that is collected from the business and the features that are enabled on the site for the business.
* When a visitor to the site (or a customer) views a particular article, the appropriate service providers will be displayed in a block. Visitors may also search for service providers using a variety of search criteria and submit a request for service. Alternatively, visitors may click a link to "Submit a request" for a specific category which will get routed to one or more service providers matching the request category. In all cases, the objective is to match and route a customer's request to relevant service providers.
* There may be back and forth communication between the customer and service provider(s) around a specific request.
* Eventually, the customer may select a service provider and receive service.
* The customer will provide feedback and rating on the service provider.

I have more detailed requirements specifications that I can provide to you later. If you would like to pursue this further, provide brief information about your Drupal module development experience along with links to samples and the role you played in those development efforts.
