I would employ someone from this board, preferably one with the handle wisecracker That candidate seems a perfect employee Smilie

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

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.

       You must provide the localite/town option, and either activite/business or nom/name option. The prenom/firstname option is ignored if the
       localite/town option is set.

OPTIONS

       -activite or -business
	       Activity or business type you're looking for. This is a mandatory switch if you don't specify the -name or -nom switches.

       -nom or -name
	       Name of the person or company you're looking for. Note that the search is done with a fuzzy match.

       -prenom or -firstname
	       First name of the person you're looking for. This option is ignored if the -activite or -business are set.

       -adresse or -address
	       Address of the person you're searching for.

       -localite or -town
	       Name of the town.

       -department or -district
	       Department district or Region you're searching in.

       -separator
	       Character used to separate fields in the result set.  Default is a tabulation character.

       -useragent
	       The default user-agent string passed to the www.pagesjaunes.fr site is ""WWW::Search::Pagesjaunes/x.xx" where x.xx is the version
	       of the module.

	       Sometimes, it is needed to change it to other user-agent strings.

       -limit  Maximum number of entries returned. Default is 50. If you set it to 0 or a negative number, it will return all the entries found.

       -english
	       Use the english interface of pagesjaunes.fr. This means that you can enter business types in english (i.e. 'plumber' instead of
	       'plombier'), and error messages will be displayed in english.
