You're likely doing nothing wrong it's just a saturated market of jobseekers. Supply and demand ebb and flow for most roles regularly. I simply think engineers have had a period of very high demand and lower supply for decades. Now that companies are finding ways to hire anywhere and everywhere (with or without a legal entity) supply has greatly increased and impacted demand. Just 2 cents from a recruiter hiring engineers for over 24 years. Also, remote jobs have the lowest talent demand (highest supply) because everyone wants them.
