That is such a self-inflicted failure.
Employers always claim to want the best talent and simultaneously write job descriptions that treat developers as stupid commodities for their ease of selection. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Either you want bell curve average people that are easy to hire/fire or you want competent people that are capable of solving hard problems. This is a forced dichotomy. You cannot have both, as people cannot exist at two separate points on a bell curve simultaneously, though you certainly try. That is why you are getting hundreds of applicants, most fail to pass your entirely unrelated HR filter, and the rest are crap.
As an example of this fail on steroids there is a major financial institution near where I live: Fidelity. I keep seeing the same job openings from those guys week after week go completely unfilled. They have completely ignored their application portal, because they are getting too many applications to process. They claim to want talent, but yet simultaneously they are only selecting for the shittiest Java developer who can magically somehow understand client-side JavaScript like a magician and yet defer everything to their bloated framework. Strangely enough they cannot seem to fill these positions even after 8-10 weeks. I promise its not for lack of compensation, and yet they still fail repeatedly. WTF... epic fail and entirely self-inflicted.
