Lutra's post above is very on-point; good things to keep in mind when selecting a member of staff.
My guild is a bit different in that I usually ask if anyone is willing to step up into a role, and then touch base with any interested party with follow-up as needed. I feel like if I approach someone directly, they might be pressured into taking up the mantle, even if they don't exactly want to. There are positives either way you go about it (if you approach first, you obviously have more control over the pool of applicants), so it's really just a matter of what's right for you and your group.
I'll go ahead and offer up a previous example of how I "recruited" for various roles, so you can see the level of detail and expectations listed- http://hostingstars.shivtr.com/forum_threads/2336214
It's worth noting that the Co-Leader position didn't pan out, and many of those responsibilities just naturally diluted to our officers and admin. In our structure, we seem to work best with Leader, Officers, and HR Admin as support roles for the guild.
