We have no mandated language. We currently don't have any custom programs and are looking at moving away from paying for so many "box" software that does some of what we need, but not all of what we want.
I am not set on SQL, just used that as an example. Really, we need someone who can sit down with various managers and see what they are doing now, what they want to do, then design something to make it happen. I say web based only because that would make it easier on me as far as software deployment. Right now we have so many "special" software packages that it is difficult to know who needs what.

(i.e. C# vs. VB.NET vs. PHP) I'd say you'd definitely want someone who fits into that mold. That said, I'm assuming that since you're leaning towards SQL, you're probably also going to be using something like ASP.NET to interact with that data. You'll probably want someone who is well versed in ASP.NET (either C# or VB.NET), SQL, building reporting functions, and generally anything else you want stuff to do. My salary is $45k (I have 3 years of experience programming C# and SQL), but I also manage our AD/Exchange environment and occasionally help out with some of the network stuff on rare occasion. Someone else mentioned LinkedIn, that's always a good option. I might also suggest throwing something up on Craigslist depending on how active the user base is in the Lexington area - I know I always check the Indy boards every week or two to see what's out there. Hope this helps.

There would be several other small projects as well. I am not sure if this will be a full time position or a contract position for a couple years. What I would like to ask the group is: 1.) What skill set am I looking for? 2.) What is the estimated salary for someone like this? 3.) What do you think is the best way to find someone?
