Pulling out hair

Ok... so the hiring process to find a new IT team in Albany has begun, and the job has been posted, several applicants have sent in resumés/CVs and I have interviewed 3 by phone. These three were then seen in person by the German IT manager and the Albany HR manager. The one I liked, they didn't - no reasons other than he was nervous and they didn't feel comfortable with him. *sigh* maybe he was too much of a geek.

The next batch of resumés/CVs arrive, and once again, no Domino experience. I get told that this is not a priority... which is where the hair pulling comes in - the company has a large number of Domino applications that have matured over 12 years or so, and these need upkeep... so Notes & Domino skills are pretty vital.

How to sell the need for Domino SKILLS inside an organization with Domino already is proving to be quite challenging!

EDIT: oh - hangon, the company's favourite solution - outsource it (doh!)
And then expect it to work when the person doing the changes doesn't understand the business!
