There's something important missing from the post. Interviewing. Interviewing is a horrible experience for most engineers. It's often costly in time and in preparation. Keep this in mind if you're hoping to hire anyone that's not still green in their career. Provide honest insight into the process for candidates. Keep your engineers from getting into the usual pissing contest during the white-board "dance" and under-graduate level homework details that don't really tell you anything about someone but are often just an excuse to technically "haze" a candidate.
