Less yappin and more dropping resumes. Pay discussion is reserved for after you're vetted.

The pay will be determined by the person's skill set. There's obviously a range.

It's a mid-level position with potential to grow into a more enterprise level position. It's good for someone looking to fill bigger shoes in the future. This isn't one of those positions where you're hired to do one thing and you're locked into doing that for years. That's the only reason I didn't shoot for the stars when looking for a good candidate.

I'd rather get someone on the team who is able to learn, wants to grow, and has stellar troubleshooting skills than someone who has a paper MCSE/MCITP/CCNA.
