Honestly I don't know, I'm a contractor and the place I'm just finishing with now is having trouble. The pay on offer for permanent staff here could well be terrible. The work certainly is, which is why I'm moving on.
I tend to agree with your viewpoint, particularly when it comes to arguments about the need to mass-import developers from overseas. Are you struggling to recruit due to a genuine shortage? Or are you trying to get people with good experience to work for you for £30K pa?

Yup--my guess is that most companies complaining about a shortage of talent can be addressed with: "Well, you offer terrible work and/or terrible pay. What do you expect?"
