It's the craigslist thing: You see jobs that ask for an incredible list of duties and demands, but then pay so far below middle class wages, and then wonder why they can't find people willing to apply. You get what you pay for. The candidates you want have or can find far better jobs than this. Lower your standards, or raise the salary. Similarly, you see tons of job openings in Chicago for executive assistants, jobs where you're basically a lap-dog for executive staff. No one wants these jobs. They're demeaning, and the pay is not worth the trouble. and yet these companies can't understand why they can't find good candidates for these jobs. People can and do get far better, less demeaning jobs than that.
