If you don&apos;t know how to do the job right, you don&apos;t know how to hire for it.&lt;p&gt;* Don&apos;t hire just to capture talent. You&apos;ll only end up alienating the talent.&lt;p&gt;* Stay as small as you can.&lt;p&gt;* The resume form makes everyone look good, which means it doesn&apos;t tell you anything useful.&lt;p&gt;* Cover letters on the other hand tell you lots, and, incidentally, also tell you how well people can write.&lt;p&gt;* Sometimes the best candidates distinguish themselves with effort. Their most recent designer hire made this mini-site while applying: &lt;a href=&quot;http://jasonzimdars.com/svn/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://jasonzimdars.com/svn/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Questions are good, but beware people who ask too many &quot;how do I...?&quot; questions as opposed to &quot;why...?&quot; questions.&lt;p&gt;* Test drive if you can. They hired designers for 1-week projects at $1500 before extending FT offers.&lt;p&gt;* Be flexible about where you hire (they&apos;re all over the place), if you can.</text></comment>
