In the news I hear about tech layoffs, but I am having a difficult time trying to hire high quality senior SWE's. Perhaps it's not the senior's that were hit by the layoffs, or I'm just looking in the wrong places.

The big job sites feel rife with unqualified applicants and outright fraud, leaving me frankly unsure how to proceed.

It feels like a crisis of candidates-to-job-openings matching, and AI has made it much worse.

Perhaps its because a good chunk of us looked at wtf is going on in tech right now and said "nah, I think I'll go be a farmer now."

I see dozens of senior postings, i apply for them, i get automated rejections. Wash rinse repeat for 6 months.

Is your job remote friendly and what's the pay?

Just a minor suggestion if applicable: My site didn't pick up your listing - Corvi has a direct integration with Ashby. I recommend enabling all of job boards in integrations to get your posting to job search engines beyond popular ones.

Oh, I'm on the job market, unemployed and probably wont apply becasue of the contract. That's probably your reason for not getting the quality of candidate you're hoping for. that hourly range goes pretty low and doesn't give confidence that a potential employee won't get low balled

Thanks for the tip! Ironically it’s the opposite in this case; where we’re willing to exceed the upper bound for the right person.

Your point about the good people self-selecting out makes sense.
