No amount of corporate jargon and/or penny-pinching can cover up not getting the right person for the job because the position is a vaguish proposition. So I think Tom has a point.
I don't think the problem is a vague position. It's our first tech hire, so the job is to do all our tech work. That's inevitably a very broad and vague role (because we don't actually know exactly what we're going to need doing). That's not a problem, it's just the nature of the job.
The problem seems to be the budget. While we obviously don't want to pay more than we have to, we do actually have quite a lot of money and should be willing to pay what we need to in order to get the right person for the job.
