I doubt the really top companies -- top 10, say -- have any trouble finding staff, at least for low-level positions. These companies are mobbed by applicants, and can afford to pay top rates. But I can believe things are rather different farther down the totem-pole of prestige. How far down do you have to go before hiring becomes really difficult, and you can't just pick the top of the crop, but rather have to make do with questionable workers?

Netflix is the #6 internet company by market cap. Probably no problems there.

eBay is #30.

Digital Ocean is #91.

Amazon’s recruiters have been particularly aggressively lately. Especially since their culture causes them to churn through people so quickly, they must have trouble finding staff at this point.

Several years ago, my friend interviewed for a software position at one not so hot company. He gave 13 rounds and then was told no.
