> Would a qualified candidate decide to apply to the position if they read the job ad? Here's an idea: have your low-level managers write the job requirements. (1) Your low-level managers know what tasks need to be done, (2) they know what competencies those tasks require, and (3) they know how to articulate the requirements in a way that makes sense to someone who can fulfill them. > Is the job in a bad location? Does it have relatively low pay? Also, have you adjusted your salary offers based on the 7-9% increase in cost of living that happened over the last year? A mid-market salary by 2020 standards is inadequate, especially if you expect your employee to live somewhere that was already expensive.
