Please explain how offering $200k will keep those incompetent guys from applying. I don't see how your "solution" changes anything

The complaint "I can't differentiate competent applicants from incompetent ones" is a very different one than "I'm not getting any competent applicants". Offering a higher salary incentivizes more competent applicants to apply.

$200k doesn't stop incompetents from applying. It does, however, tempt competent people to add themselves to the running.
