No problem sharing applicant pool -- haven't got any as of yet.

If you post for yours, can I share your applicants?  taking 2nd 
pick of course.

Also, Fran and Joan have a bunch of applicants from their
recent search which they have promised to share with me.
You are welcome to this too.

Use the job application to
make sure they really do meet all of your computing skill/science
requirements, and then use the interview to fill in gaps.

Ask them questions that you
need to know, like what kind of UNIX/CRAY/programming experience
have you had, and then ask them wierd questions like 
what makes you enthusiastic about working here, or, 
what was one of your hardest school/work problems you've ever had
to work on...  These latter questions help on how the person will 
"fit-in" to the position in terms of communication and
independent thinking/problem solving.  Encourage them to
talk a lot, and ask them if they have any questions about the
job or the science we do here.  Show them around
and see how they react to all the computers/tape drives/etc.

Good luck!
