I'm going to fire my ass

But seriously I'd restructure your requirements ... putting some things into the nice to haves ? You may find your list is putting a few people off.

I know a lot of good programmers who have never touched photoshop in their lives and never want to.

Thanks, I've made a few minor changes to hopefully get a few more CVs in the door.

We'll see how it goes for a few weeks and decide from there if it has a poor response.

What I would suggest you do is determine what the position and person, properly managed, is worth to your company in monetary terms and base the salary on that. Let's say, hypothetically, that this employee was handling, say, 130k of work each year. Would it not be worth setting the salary at 65k to get the right person in? If the amount of work they're doing is only worth 50k per year to you, would it not be more prudent to outsource the work to a freelancer?

The quality of work I've seen coming in from overseas is dreadful. You can get lucky sometimes but, in my experience, you're taking a big risk with little comeback.

That's probably my fault.

I added it the other week, but didn't tell anyone
