Thats possible, but on the other hand  the reason why those guys didn't 
get selected is also interesting. Most of the guys who came through 
either wanted to only work 2 or 3 days a week, didn't want to do on-call 
and/or were asking for more money than they are worth. Eg. One person 
who came to the interview was unable to confirm how many IP address's a 
single eth interface can host. While another instantly confirmed : 254. 
I don't think either of them deserve the 50k on offer!

fwiw, the company has now confirmed two junior'ish guys instead of one 
senior person for a salary total of 70k

One feeling I always get is that perhaps this 'talent' isn't accessible 
easily and the 'people' that head hunters, recruitment agents and 
mailing lists turn up just aren't quite 'there' yet.
