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.

As a software dev, that’s troubling to hear.
The software dev field survived fairly well during the Obummer recession (I was able to get my first job in 2011) but I’m wondering if that will not be the case this time.
I have a job at a small company, but the company is being run into the toilet by a leftist moron with no business sense, so it’s starting to feel like time to move… but not if there’s such a glut of applicants.
Granted, everyone I’ve worked with in the last 10 years have been pretty iffy in their abilities and quality of work, but even if the pool of applicants is mostly low quality, that still makes the job market tougher for me.
