I'm not saying it's crappy, I'm saying there's no one that thinks the pay is worth whatever the job involves. There could be a million reasons why, but why doesn't really matter if the reasons aren't something you or your company can control. The only thing you can control is the pay and benefits. If you're not getting any applicants at the current pay, the only choices are to go without or to offer more pay and/or benefits.
$100 an hour in the Bay Area or West Los Angeles is ho-hum pay at best. $100 an hour in Arkansas is insane.
Sounds like whatever service you're using to get resumes is the problem. There's no shortage of people who want a 200k/yr job there's a shortage of people who know that job exists.
No one is going to abccompany.com to see if there's an opening. If you're posting to careerbuilder or something they may be suppressing the listing because they want you to pay more to promote it. There may be a service that scrapes the ads and emails them out. The service my have gone out of business. Headhunters go through the listings can call candidates. The headhunters that did that may have quit.
All these things are more likely than you not being able to find anyone who is willing to take a $100/hr job.
