Reducing work stress

In an effort to reduce work stress, I've been looking to hire.

My ideal fantasy involves having a clerk to take care of all the nitty-gritty administrative stuff that I can't stand and can't fully bill, and a junior to help generate income and take the work overflow.

The problem, though, is trying to turn all of this into reality. Some responses have been laughable, like the one who clearly knew no English (these are jobs where excellent English is the main requirement). I'm still hopeful, but it's a bit nerve-wracking knowing that a bad hiring mistake can be a risky and expensive headache. On the other hand, I did have some interviews that went better than I expected.

Here's hoping for success....
