Thanks every one for his input .. there are so many to mention .. Thanks to the
managers whom gave me a detailed answers , to the one who gave me the answer
just in the goal, and to the ones who offered to talk the job (It will be
considered ;-) ..

The case was :
We need to hire a network admin. whom will install two networks Solaris ( 30
Ultra 5) and NT (30 PCs) an integrate them by making an Enterprise 3500 as a
server for both networks .. then install 2 servers as backups to the NT Servers
.. he should be able too to install other servers on the main server machine (
web server, mail, backup, .. etc.) and the applications for the Network
workstations (Both NT and SUN) .. he will support 300+ network users on both
networks ..

The Questions were :

1- How many years of experience are we looking for?

Well, It depends on did you do it before or not and most of the answers were
toward 3 years experience in Solaris and 2 years in NT.

2- How long should it takes him to complete this job right ( for the contract
length)?

The answers varied between 1 month and 1 year .. but most answers were around 6
months.

3- How much should we offer him?

Many answers but the the minimum was $50 and the maximum was $200 ( which is too
much) the average was around $75+ and it depends on your geographical area ..
