There's a series of articles by Joel Spolsky on attractive, finding,

interviewing, hiring and retaining top quality technical

candidates. If you're non-technical, you won't be able to do all of it

yourself, but I'd argue it's worth reading all of them

anyway. Annoyingly, there doesn't appear to be a master index of them,

but a good place to start seems to be

<http://www.joelon...;, which

links out to more of his thoughts.
Note that Joel is sometimes wrong, and often contentious. So read and

think rather than just read; but I'm sure you'll do that with

everything around a company you're passionate about anyway.
