OK, you need experienced sysadmins. That means that you are
expecting to pay reasonably high-end salaries, right?

Put a salary range in the ad. Explain why your company is really
interesting, and good at what it does. Talk about what you're
doing now, and what you want to do in future.

Describe your on-call rotation. "This position has overnight
on-call three nights per week." "One week per month." "24/7
on-call, but we only need to see you in the office 2 days per
week." Whatever it is, describe it accurately.

Put in the URL of your company. Make sure that if there's a
"Careers" or "Jobs" section of the website, that this appears on
it.

Run your ad by a bunch of experienced sysadmins, first. Then put
it on Craig's List.
