23. That goes to the point you mentioned in your other post and I agree.

Unless you pay at or close to top dollar, any folks you hire on a temporary basis are likely not going to be the best any industry has to offer and that includes IT.

Otherwise they are going to need to fork over high hourly rates to folks capable of doing a good job periodically.
