I have a $100k job posted that I got 10 resumes for. I had to keep it open for 3 months to get 10 resumes. Another $75k job was posted by my org, got 3 resumes. I’ve been hiring people for 15+ years and I normally get 20-50 applicants for jobs at various levels (very specialized field). Something is wrong.

Ask to see the candidates they're turning down and the details of any job postings or recruiter agreements . They may be fucking up some basic keyword matching, throwing people out for arbitrary things, or scaring candidates off with pronouns, masking, or other woke shit.
I won't bore you with the details but I've watched this happen as both a candidate and hiring manager and it's horrifying. Some of your problems may be in-house.
HR is a tool of the cabal same as a doctor or legislator. They implement the agenda with total precision and indifference.
Having done minor HR tasks, having had hiring manager responsibilities in the past, I can attest to this first hand.
Also, the little hiring kiosks and online only applications have gotten totally out of hand. White collar jobs are a labyrinth of superfluous forms, and blue collar jobs are needlessly convoluted.
You don't need fancy HR and hiring software if your application process is simple and on-boarding process is straight forward. Just saying it's one more needless complexity that tbh, I'm not gonna go through.
If someone wants my talent, I'm not gonna play monkey boy and dance for you when we both know I'm a good fit and can do the job. IMO, a LOT of people feel the same way. Job mobility has had the brakes on for some time.
