Clinical RawlsianLook, companies that are having a hard time finding staff need to realize that in this economy, looking for workers is a full-time job. You can't just post an ad on Indeed and call it quits. You've got to be out there all day everyday working the phones, working your network. Make an impression by sending thank you notes to candidates who grant you an interview. And always remember: if you keep at it every day and never give up, you will eventually find a worker. You can do it!
PS: Make sure you get help writing your job ad. Even minor spelling and grammar mistakes are a big red flag to potential candidates. Also, get back to candidates quickly and make sure that you always are on time for an interview. Your sob story about how having to cover the floor because nobody else showed up today isn't going to mean much to a potential employee.
If you're trying to find a "creative" worker like a graphic artist or web designer and are having trouble, consider paying someone for a few months without asking them to do any actual projects. You won't make any money out of it, but it will be good exposure and show your potential employee what a good employer you might be one day.
