   A small anecdote from the cleared space (security clearance jobs). If you look through websites like clearedjobs, you'll notice that you see the same sets of cyber jobs posted over and over and over. All from the same companies in the same locations. Come to find, it's simply because they can't find people desperate enough with good qualifications to work for low wages in HCOL areas like northern VA and DC. Companies that want unicorn analysts/engineers with 6-10 YOE, TS/SCI, degree, and extensive, specific experience to relocate to northern VA for 130k/yr - 5 days in office - standard crappy contractor benefits. Shocked pickachu face when practically no one will accept those terms who actually qualify.

      Pretty sure something like this will still get 1000 applicants, nobody will get hired, and a C-Level will blame the hiring manager and HR/recruiter.

      The flip side of this is filtering for "US Persons" (non cleared, but citizenship, located in the US) for remote work at the Sr/Staff level. The amount of BS that I get is astounding.
