Not going to add too much, but I love how well HN tackles this important yet so often skewed discussion.

In my opinion, companies that struggle to find great candidates almost always aren't competing for talent:

- paying well

- offering great benefits

- taking time to write great job descriptions

- recruiting through a variety of channels

- putting thoughtful effort into every step of the recruiting process

A lot of the top comments point to OP missing the mark on some of the above points.

From there, the discussion delves into some of the finer points I hadn't fully considered:

- EU vs US differences for comp and readership

- Seniority/stack expertise on HN vs elsewhere

- Hiring for non-technical roles on HN
