I think your recruiting pains in finding senior/enterprise positions can probably be explained by the following:

1) out of the 325 million US citizens, maybe 10,000 people at most meet your qualifications

2) most of them are already employed

3) most of them probably don't read that thread if they even post here at all

4) it might be wiser to hire them as a consultant and have them train a proficient and loyal dev to implement their recommendations

It could also be that you're committing some common flaws that make your job listings much less actionable than your competitors.

I'm not overly specialised or senior, but even at my level I find that when I'm actively looking, I get way more interest than I can possibly follow up on with the time I have available. So any mistakes you make will end up with your listing being filtered out.

If you're targetting people that receive 50 recruiter e-mails a day, things like not listing salary, overly long JDs, spewing a bunch of marketing bullshit in the JD, etc, will pretty much result in an instant pass. Other comments here have called OP out for those exact things, maybe GP is making the same mistakes?

Definitely. It's a labor sellers market in that space. Ironically, for lower skill labor, candidates have to jump through hoops :)
