Re: Skills shortage

Skill shortage is a no issue when the price is right, job security, pro employee
environment.  That is you pay a competitive salary, good accommodation during
interview, pay all relocation, sometimes including selling homes, sign-on bonus
etc.  If you're willing to these "few" things you'll find tons of them at your
door steps.
