I would employ someone from this board, preferably one with the handle wisecracker That candidate seems a perfect employee 
But ignoring the blatant sycophancy and assuming that you wish to escape, I would humbly suggest you seek one who is:-
In larger companies, a good Personnel or H.R. department may well have puzzles that stretch the mind and allows you to observe the process. That may give you an insight too. Additionally, try to set some puzzles of your own, e.g. try to get them to describe the difference between truncate table table_name ; and delete from table_name ;
It might sound like passing the responsibility, but I have had too much experience of very qualified people who don't have a clue, and when you consider the cheating that is common in some places where some people may have obtained qualifications, they become worth even less, which I'm sure for some is a grave injustice.

But ignoring the blatant sycophancy and assuming that you wish to escape, I would humbly suggest you seek one who is:-
- generally bright rather than qualified
- open to ideas
- old enough not to be GUI-only
- doesn't have a fancy looking C.V., but has content over visuals
- who can read manuals well
- is not scared by problems and will ask for help
