Thanks very much for the insight. This is definitely the approach we've taken up until now. Average age in our group is right around 40 and we're all family people who love the area and lifestyle it affords. The age thing isn't really the issue, just the number of applicants with relevant skills applying. I know they are around, maybe just a little more entrenched in their current roles. It is a lot of older people around, and I think because of that a lot of them (us) are already in a long term role or have moved on to consulting/contracting.

One strategy: Figure out what would entice your team to move from their entrenched roles, then figure out a way to offer that...both to your current staff and to prospective candidates. Another is just to identify a local you want to bring on board and do what it takes to land that person.
