The biggest hires, like Microsoft, Amazon, etc - are fine with this. The core of the problem is companies become Uber corportizized, entirely separating employment from the work being done. Where HR are filtering resumes based on criteria they learned in university that applies to traditional jobs like accounting. Big corporate works despite inefficiency, due to economy of scale and control. Therefore they will wait and wait, and if they can't find a "senior full stack programmer 20 years in rust", then no matter - they'll just up the work on current devs and ultimately let the project fail because they can.
Good for them, but not all of us have billions and can wait for years for the perfect candidate while also constantly complaining about the lack of skilled developers. Some of us just train our own instead and get on with our lives.
