While I agree completely about finding good employees, and I think that it's one of the most important aspects involved in being successful, we got a lot more people applying for our jobs that were open a few months ago.
What I would say is I'm glad that someone who is happy to sit around all day and get paid to do nothing, are self filtering themselves out, because I don't want to be the poor bastard who inadvertantly hires someone who turns out to be terrible.
