Our expierence has been that If the new hire is very skilled in SQL, the 4GL portion sould be trivial to learn. This is assuming that the individual has a good background in structured programming. (Pascal, c, c++, other 4GL, etc) We have had little luck posting in the newsgroups for new hires. Although we have had some responses. A well placed Sunday newspaper add is still the way to go. Just my 2cents.
