I should clarify, I hire them for 1 hour and if they succeed in the task and I like their work I'll hire them for the project.

RE $5/hr - You'd be surprised what kind of applicants you get from around the world. I've had a very good iOS developer from India for $12/hr for awhile now. Great find. I also give my workers bonuses if they finish early, go above and beyond, etc. Key thing: Take care of people and most likely they'll take care of you.




Looks like I edited out my $5 an hour remark before I saw your reply. :)
