Okay. Sounds like your demand exceeds your supply. This bodes well for your candidates, whose skills are in demand. But you are also not paying infinity dollars for them, right? I was just stating that, all else being equal, if there are more suitable candidates per given position, you could end up paying less, because of the higher competition. Once you get into highly specialized domains, both competition and mobility decrease. Ideally, one might seek specialist-level salary for otherwise-generalizable work.
