>$25/hour flat rate? Why? That's not even half the market rate for an average developer.
If over half the developers are worthless and you are buying an unknown quantity this seems equitable.

Tell your barber that you're going to pay him 1/2 from now on because half the other barbers in the city are worthless...
You've got bigger problems, tho. A headhunnter fee is 30K.[1] Take 30K and divide it by 50, and you have over 600 hours to play with. Lets save ~85% and take 100 hours as your budget @ 2x the cost. That would cover how many work-sample tests? (take your pick) 20 peple x5hrs or 24x4hrs which should be a good funnel. What's wrong with this approach?
[1] Assume a 100k position., which is also $50/hr on 2000 hrs/year.
You shouldn't care about the extra money, just finding the right developers.
