Having a hard time finding good and reliable employees

[Francis E. Bromwell JR.]

Hello, this is my first post outside of my new member introduction so go easy on me regarding format and if this type of post is allowed here. But as you see in the title I am having a very hard time finding good and reliable employees. I have put help wanted signs in all the local grocery stores and bulletin boards, and ads on Craigslist but have not had any skilled contractors come forward just people with little to no experience. I have all the sub contacts I would ever need but building a large in house crew is proving to be a challenge. As contractors where or how did you guys find your employees? Any advice is greatly appreciated
