I hate to break it to you, but that’s not for lack of skilled applicants. Companies leave those positions open so they can say they’re trying to hire, just so they get more work out of you.
Source: I manage about 110 engineers in a global company. We’re always 'hiring '.
Skilled workers are not easily replaced. I am a programmer and we regularly have job postings open for over a year at my work.

So they’re wasting time I could spend actually programming so I can interview people they don’t plan on hiring, got it.
If you’re really struggling, post the link to the job posting, and I’ll see if I can’t recommend a few good devs.
I mean, yeah? It doesn’t take a year to find devs. Unless you’re using some ridiculously rare stack, or your posted salary is way below market.
Plus, if a position is open for a year, you don’t need it. Apparently.

I would be if I was the one that controlled it. But we’re a company of like 60k people. I’m not setting policy.
