That's a great question to ask.
However, I now ask you if that's really the question you are indeed asking an engineer who already has a full time job with possibly a hour or longer commute and is attacking your problem at the end of the day or week.
If that's the case, what you are really asking the question "How fast are you at good enough when you are extremely tired and nearly exhausted?"
Either that or you're selecting for candidates who are not challenged enough at work and work at a place that does not fill the rest of their employee's time with busy work to make up for the slack so they have time left over to work on your project.
You have thought of the problem from your viewpoint as an employer but have you viewed it from the viewpoint of an employee who's so frustrated with their current employer that they are willing to put up with hours of looking for job posts, doing background research on companies, filling out forms, following up on applications, answering random trivia questions and random take home assignments at the end of their full work day?
