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.
