> On the last team I worked with, my manager complained a lot about how hard hiring is. On the other end of the spectrum, you hear a lot of complaints about how hard getting hired is.

Too true - I remember the last time I was job hunting I applied for multiple jobs and talked with a couple of recruiters and all of my efforts got me one single interview (which was successful). I told a friend to apply in another department at the same company and he never heard back, yet I frequently hear managers saying how hard it is to find good talent.
