<human>: I've got two problems at the moment, both inter-related.

* First, The Job Posting:

Thanks to corporate-speak, it's extremely hard to come across as genuine in a business context.  I'm looking for people who enjoy IT, and take a lot of pride in what they do.  I'm looking for the sort of people to whom "good enough" isn't.  How do I let these sort of people that they want to work with me?  How do I let them know that my company knows "pride" isn't just a buzzword for "watching the bottom line"?

* Second, The Candidates:

I'm pretty new to management.  There are a lot of people who are far more experienced at talking themselves up than I am at figuring them out.  It's easy enough to hire someone qualified, you can test for that with a well-executed test environment.  The problem is that will only tell you what they're capable of, not how much you have to fight them to do anything.  

We're an IT company in the small/medium business market, our clients don't generally have piles of cash to blow on new servers.  There are times I'll have to hand someone a 3-year old server and some extra RAM and say "The client's budget fell through this year but they still need an upgrade, see how well you can polish this turd."  The kind of person I'm looking for isn't just gonna say "This thing sucks".  They're gonna say "This thing sucks, but it's gonna gleam anyway because it's *my* fuckin' turd."

I have the feeling I'm kinda all over the place with that.  It's hard to put down sensibly for some reason.  So,

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: I'm looking for people who take pride in their work.  How do I get them interested, and how do I separate them from the half-assers?
