Not true. There are not enough qualified candidates. It still takes a long time to find people in places like New York, Boston and San Fransisco. Not every company is Apple that they attract tons of resumes from prospective candidates.

If Apple can attract the candidates and you can't, you're not offering enough money.

This is exactly the point about the "engineering shortage". If there is a shortage, salaries should be going up. Since salaries are not going up, there is, by definition, no shortage.

Maybe it takes too long because the salary you're offering is too low.
