My approach is to try to attract strong developers by using the best languages and tools. What technology stack do you use?

Stack and tools dont attract strong developers. Salary and work-life balance does.

[paf31]

You couldn't pay me enough to work on some stacks.

Also, certain technologies do a good job of convincing potential employees that you know what you're doing and committed to using the best tools available IMO.

[qodeninja]

I agree completely.

It's hard to generalize though, you can find engineers for just about any stack with the right price points.

Also why not consider remote employees?

We currently employe a remote developer. Good talent, its a bit hard to manage when you're not in the same room. We're strong believers in remote workstations. My #1 priority is getting the work done. I don't care where or how you do it, as long as it gets completed in a timely and efficient manner.
