What's the work, and the pay? Those 2 things will play big roles more than a dearth of candidates. Told my son for years if you want to make more money, find something to do that no else wants to. Turns out the same is on the hiring side.
Your company needs to revise what they mean by "average."
Really nasty, lots of headaches, complexity, risks, and/or people think it's magic.
