I was under the impression that VT as a whole was having a very hard time filling jobs... I just can't see myself moving to Burlington and having to survive those winters (though I bet you get a lot of coding done when it is -100* outside). I have a hard enough time with Connecticut winters.

You know, I can't really speak to that. I know it's not a good place to try and make a good living as there just aren't many opportunities out here to make >45k a year.. most everything is entry level, retail, or hospitality around here. So I guess I was surprised when we are offering a very good job for the area that we got so little interest, but it makes sense in that most qualified people are just leaving before they become qualified.

I imagine dealer.com is nabbing good local hackers faster than we can find them

With the job market the way it is, you might consider advertising in more populated areas (like MA and CT) targetting people who might relocate for the right position.

We have done that to some degree, but only highly targeted ads (communities specific to our CMS)
