It sounds to me as though they are not actually hard to find. You're just looking in the wrong place and not allocating enough funds for salary.

If you can't compete on money, you can probably compensate with time instead. A 30 hour work week with liberal personnel policies would be very attractive to someone who likely already earns more than "enough", and probably spends a lot of time padding out hours by just looking busy anyway.

There are a lot of people out there who are working a job they dislike because the job search routine is even worse. Find the company no one likes to work for and actively recruit their dissatisfied employees.
