Find me a talented engineer in the Bay Area who started a company and now can't find a job. We have $5,000 referral bonuses and severe engineering shortages so I'd love to refer him or her.

I have known several, and rent was so high they eventually moved away.
Consider offering remote positions. Even if those positions are only used as a way to open new people to the possibility of moving to SF.
If your shortages are severe, why limit your talent pool to the smallest, most competitive market?

The shortage at our company isn't severe, but in the bay area it is. And you do so because having people in-house is much more productive and decreases organizational cost. There's a reason people want employees in-house, and it's not mentioned much on HN.
I ran a remote company once before. I'll never do it again.
