All of my tech hires have been word of mouth. Where do you advertise job openings these days?

They cost a lot and lie about what their people can do. At least when a direct hire lies to me, it doesn't cost as much. But ya, it's getting to that point.

Craiglist, linkedin, company website... but referrals are best way to get people. We use contracting agencies as well, but the quality is very inconsistent.

It's not me, it's someone else.

I tried Craigslist and got one potential out of about 20 that flooded in. And I'm not sure that one was really a potential or if it was trying to make at least one of them work. It also cost $25 to post it, and $25 more each time I want to bump it to the top of the list. We got responses for about two days before it was too far down the list to be noticed.
And holy shit the number of bachelor degreed people looking for a job not even remotely related to their education.

Local college job boards are good if you are just looking for someone who will be "engaged" in their work, and provided you have the time to train them up.

Don't hire anyone under 40 is probably the best advice I can give. Find some retired genius electrician who doesn't really need the money but likes having something to do part time.

Under 40 they don't wake up until 3pm, and then they have to get their bake on first.
Well, maybe under 30.
