I don't know about that. I don't think our adverts actually state what 
we might be willing to pay. It's possible that we're not paying *the 
recruiters* enough money, of course... They all seem pretty disappointed 
that we will only pay them a 6% cut (they seem to be looking for nearer 
40%).

It does make me wonder though - if it's THIS HARD to find anybody 
capable of even the most basic programming tasks, maybe I should find 
another employer and start charging a hell of a lot more money...

(The difficulty with that, of course, is making it clear just from your 
CV that you actually know your stuff and you're not just blatantly lying 
through your teeth!)
