So you're saying with a straight face that if you doubled or quadrupled the salary on offer you still wouldn't find candidates? Are you looking for someone so specialized that only under 10 people in the entire world are able to fill it? Because otherwise it's just a matter of salaries not being enticing enough for people to work for your clients.
- olegp 10y agoDevelopers in Finland don't value salary as much as those in other countries, see here: http://stackoverflow.com/research/developer-survey-2016#money-matters-more-in-some-countries http://stackoverflow.com/research/developer-survey-2016#mone... There's also the progressive tax which should be taken into account.
- whamlastxmas 10y agoReplace "salary" with "compensation package" and the same argument stands. Offer better salaries, work environments, perks, and vacation days and you'll get all the qualified candidates you could want.
