To give a different anecdote: at my school which is ranked closer to 100, we got 40 applicants, of which about 15 meet basic qualifications we're looking for (have a PhD, in the right field, have any kind of publication record, have ever taught a class). And I think we are doing pretty well compared to some places, since we're in a major coastal city and have a relatively light teaching load for a non-R1 place (2/2). A lot of places have been outright failing their CS faculty searches in the past few years, and I think more than usual will fail this year.

Your institution sounds like the rare type of place that shouldn't have a problem hiring. Good luck with your search. > have a PhD, in the right field, have any kind of publication record, have ever taught a class Most places with a teaching load higher than 3/2 dropped all three of those requirements from their job ads years ago.
