I still like a range. I mean, fairly recently someone asked me for a recommendation... I did some legwork and found that one of the best people I know was looking around at the time. I made the recommendation, and kindof embarrassed myself. turns out, the guy wanted "a quick learner" (meaning someone cheap with little experience)

I mean, I think hiring people without experience is great; how else are they going to get experience? but if you are looking to pay $25/hr, don't waste the time of people who expect $200/hr. (and visa-versa.)
