> Although we advertise on our web site, unless people are looking quite specifically, they are unlikely to find the adverts Does your company post these adverts on twitter/hn/reddit? Even if they _do_ see your posting, why would they work for you over any other dev job? > Also, Recruiters tend to be a poor and expensive solution. It is hard to tell the good from those who just claim to be good and we get a lot of noise from them. Recuiters are not a silver bullet, you still need to filter what they source. A good recruiter will want to know why you're rejecting the candidates you're sending. They are expensive, however if they're not getting you candidates then find another recruiter. > Also, I'm not sure that the best candidates just call a random recruiter to find them a job. No, of course they don't, but they might call _a_ recruiter they have a relationship with. Recruiters also reach out to candidates too. A candidate who has 10 years experience writing django apps might be miffed at a recruiter offering "an exciting frontend opportunity", but a goood recruiter will either have people they've been speaking to, or will know the signs on linkedin/etc of people who may want to leave their current jobs and might be a good fit.
