A big part of the problem is that everyone, of course, wants rockstars, they want the top 25, 10, or 1% of the talent pool. But not every company actually needs them. Not every company even knows what to do with them or can make effective use of them.

And not every company wants to pay for them. If you need rockstar results expect to pay rockstar prices.

As someone wrote recently, some companies say they're hiring when what they really want are shiny new people for their company. Rockstars are pretty shiny.
