Qualified people seeking work do not want to make a full presentation unles=
s they know they are not likely to be wasting their time.  Perhaps you coul=
d create a step by step process where they can get their cards out on the t=
able while you do the same.  You might want to consider the evidence regard=
ing how fast a candidate picks up new skills.

I am happy for the internet....
I have driven to job interviews only to arrive and find out part way throug=
h the interview that I must know *xyz* by heart.... That is... I am 95% qua=
lified but that is not enough.  They are not interested in my ability to re=
search / learn new stuff.  This means 1/2 day wasted when Skype would have =
saved the day.

Are there other combinations of people and locations that might satisfy you=
r requirements ?  Perhaps someone who can be at your location 100% of the t=
ime who can be supplemented by and learn from  .... some remote support con=
tract people ?

I fit some of your requirements and some I do not.  Others might be in the =
same situation.

Best
Gus
