> I’ve never seen a worker walk away one an offer is made.

I’ve personally walked away from several offers. It’s not uncommon to receive multiple offers at the same time and you can only accept one.

So perhaps your offers have been excessively generous?

Or only the most desperate stumble through my door?

But either way, it's pretty clear that the prevailing problem is finding people at all. Not just me, but most businesses have been struggling with the same problem. You can't tempt someone with more money if you have no way of communicating with them.

Which goes back to the marketing problem. Absolutely there is a marketing problem, but publishing price data is exactly how other markets have solved the problem. We shouldn't be shocked or disappointed that labour is going the same way. That's how markets deal with the problem.
