In the news I hear about tech layoffs, but I am having a difficult time trying to hire high quality senior SWE's. Perhaps it's not the senior's that were hit by the layoffs, or I'm just looking in the wrong places.

The big job sites feel rife with unqualified applicants and outright fraud, leaving me frankly unsure how to proceed.

It feels like a crisis of candidates-to-job-openings matching, and AI has made it much worse.
