Pay more, and disclose it. Unless there's something that stands out about your company, no one is interested in going through the process to be offered mediocre pay. Or find something else to offer (say $5000 personal equipment + guaranteed attendance at AWS Reinvent or something similar) Are you paying candidates for the take-home?
