Misc.jobs.wanted is the most powerful reason of all (to beancounters) 
to be on USENET.  We
paid for at least a year's worth of phone time when we put an ad up for
system administrator and within a week, we were besieged with qualified
applicants -- one of whom lived within three miles of here.  No headhunter
fee, no relocation expenses -- a solid win, all the way around.
