This morning's interview had not shown up (nor phoned to report she was lost or ill) as of one hour after her appointment.

It may be a Very Good Thing that we've been inundated with resumes. Of the first four interviewees, one was overqualified, one was suitable but not fabulous, one cancelled an hour before her appointment, one no-showed.

(Anybody I know want to be an Administrative Assistant in the Lebanon/White River area? The position is still open, and I'd get a referral bonus.)

Have you asked the overqualified person why she's stepping back?
The position sounds like fun to me.

If you really like the candidate, you might want to discuss you concerns (which I read before replying) with her.

On paper, I was dramatically "overqualified" for a position I took in 2001. It turned out to be a perfect fit in the end. I had to persuade the hiring VP that I wasn't a threat to the manager. It worked out very well for me and the company. Then they moved to Alpharetta, GA. Oh well.

If the commute to NH wasn't miserable for me, I'd seriously consider applying for your position myself.
