Increasing the salary range might attract more candidates, but I wonder if that’s really the root of the problem.

Opening the position to a greater audience could help, but I feel like we should first understand why there are so few qualified candidates.

I remember a similar question where we discussed targeting specific applicant pools first. It seems like a good option here too.

I think confirming the accuracy of job descriptions is really important, but I'm not sure if that's the first step.
