Tech writer job descriptions & hiring ESL tech writers?

[Hannah Drake <hannah -at- formulatrix -dot- com>]

Hi everyone,

First, Happy New Year! Who else is super excited for the snow storm in New
England? :-|  <grin>

So I've been asked to create "levels" of progression for the tech writer
team.

After a bit of perusing Indeed.com, I've seen titles such as Junior and
Senior, and also I, II, III.

Does anyone have a good break-down of what it means to be in either of
these categories?

This search began because I've gotten approval to hire an additional team
member to our overseas location -- which brings me to my next question, any
tips for hiring ESL tech writers?

My biggest goal is to find someone with a mastery of the written English
language, as you might imaging -- how do I go about testing that?

Thanks in advance for your time and responses!
