If not full-time, you'll pay more per hour perhaps.
If they can do the quality work, have good communication skills, and can map out what is needed easily than it's worth it to pay for more if they make my life easier.

Sadly, many are not people person's, so right there you will get some aggravations. Many play a lot of videos games, and would prefer to do that over work. Than you get into a lot of the programmer/designer classics.... granny, disappearing acts, and the rest.

Most companies, myself included, have no issue paying a premium for QUALITY.. well organized... CONSISTENT... make my life easier.... programmer. However, they are few and far between unfortunately.
