I’ve spent the last year/year and a half hiring developers. We pay well, company is relaxed, no overtime, and established.
I will post for a senior level position and get 200 resumes with zero experience. Just a undergrad or grad degree, but never in a relevant technology/skill set. Maybe two will fit the bill. By the time I get ahold of them they already have another job.
If I post a junior level position, for someone just out of college or a code school…crickets. No one applies.
