Pay them a reasonable hourly rate for the time this consumes. A good rule of thumb for any sort of short-term contract work is to take the annual salary and divide by 1000. Definitely don't pay them less than the long-term hourly rate, which is salary divided by 2000. So if your desired applicant pool is getting $200k, offer them $100-200/hour.
