You need to break out some social engineering on these companies. Tell every single one of them that you're interviewing with a bunch of other companies and that you may be approaching a offer soon. On the first call, be straight forward with your expectation in pay, benefits, other compensation and where you expect to do the majority of your work (home / office / farm / park / bathroom). Tell them you do not wish to waste their time or yours, they will often appreciate it.

In the mean time since you are out of work, start volunteering, participating in the community and even create some youtube / twitch content.
