This article is a bit of a contradiction. On the one hand, it says: "Unemployment is chronic in much of the country, but in Silicon Valley, employees have their pick of jobs." Then on the other hand it says: "And in four months, the hundreds of resumes, dozens of phone screens, and numerous four-hour meetings with viable candidates yielded no one who fit their criteria." This tells me that the easy job market is there if you are a star. No so much if you're just 'competent'. But the 'stars' have an easy job market in any industry. This company has the same problem as the New York Yankees. The Yankees have an opening for .350 hitter and it's very difficult for them to find qualified talent. Similar problem, but it's worse in Silicon Valley. At least the Yankees will pay what you're worth if you 'fit their criteria'.
