I guess you missed the general trend of most items on this site...
However - to redefine your job offer : how do you get good hackers?
Mostly I'd guess its a process of coming across the right person at the right time and helping them grow into what you want.
This would involve lots of communication early, as my experiences have tended to show that unless people know what is expected of them, they'll put their own interpretation on the job at hand, and quite possibly go off on a tangent from what was expected.
Oh, and I find it takes at least a month to settle into the job initially anyway (finding out the hierarchy / who to go to for what / how "things are done")
So - no magic bullet. Feel free to prove me wrong though...
