I agree. Pixel perfection is almost always only achievable through the 
use of absolute positioning, absolute font-sizes, and the like. Those 
type of things go against many standards and common-best-practices of 
web design, which needs to inherently be flexible to match the broad 
number of browsers, resolutions, available fonts, and the like.

I note you are also looking for a person who is passionate and has a 
thorough understanding of web design; such a person may have 
difficulty with pixel perfection.
