On the subject of employment we are in the process of trying to hire a few 
programmer types. I am looking for suggestions as to how best a small company 
can go about finding resources without spending a huge amount of time 
interviewing folks who do not have the proper background.

We are looking for seasoned developers with a very broad toolset and the 
ability to code in whatever language best fits the problem at hand. We are 
too small to have the time to train someone, and need developers that can 
work with minimal supervision. 

Any ideas as to the best way to approach the problem of finding good talent?

We do not have an HR department (or any departments to speak of), so salaries 
will not be "arbitrarily set by the HR department", and what we end up 
specifying as requirements will be real world requirements.

Thanks,

Ron
