How do you go about hiring someone from overseas? I assume we would have to get them a work visa. How long does this normally take and what is the average cost? Can you give me some advice?

You would normally be looking at the H1-B visa. You can call some area law firms to see first if the type of work you are offering would qualify for H1-B status, and second what they would charge to process the paperwork for you. (You actually don't have to stick with the area, as many immigration firms operate nationally; shop around for the best price.)
Thank you
There are other types of work visas. For example, H-2B - for temporary and seasonal workers. But you would have to check its availability due to the cap.
