- dboreham 4y agoIt has always been hard to find good people.
- whimsicalism 4y agoIt's quite easy actually, you are just underpaying.
- Closi 4y agoMore like it's quite easy if you dramatically overpay. Finding great people at a price you can afford is the usual aim - which doesn't mean underpaying but does mean that you can't just raise the price until the talent busts down your door.
- jen20 4y agoNo. Markets mean that you must indeed do that.
- bigDinosaur 4y agoHaving to pay a lot seems to be the side of the coin that the most pro free market advocates are not okay with.
- whimsicalism 4y agoSeems like the price you need to pay to actually get talent would be paying properly. Expecting to get talent while paying below market is called underpaying. It sounds like you either find yourself in an industry where tech work doesn't actually have much of an impact on revenue or one where business owners are reluctant to profit share with their productive workers. Other industries that don't have these hang-ups are doing fine with hiring.
- dboreham 4y agoIf that were true there would be a place chock full of good people, that everyone in the industry knows is there and that they pay very well for good people. Is there such a place?

- eyelidlessness 4y agoOr thorough.
- gfodor 4y agoNice.
- tempsy 4y agoguessing it has a lot to do with pay discrepancies
- ikiris 4y agoIt's always hard to find good people when you pay way less than the alternatives they have.
