“I completely understand why someone doesn’t want to commute an hour and a half every day. Totally get it… Doesn’t mean they have to have a job here either.”
Then why hire people living 90 minutes away?
Sure limit yourself to workers living close by. But don’t give me any of that labor shortage bullshit then.
There is a shortage of people willing to work for the wage you’re offering at the terms you’re offering. There are millions of people choosing not to work for many, many employers right now. It will only get larger.
Depending on how old you are, understand, for the rest of your life, there will always be more jobs than employees, act like it and be brutal with your employers about it. The boomers were accelerating into retirement and then COVID exploded lots of employment norms, for good reasons.
Employers have been used to, for decades, lobbying to hire, fire and treat you disposable on a whim. Demand a lot, there are far fewer of you than there are of their boring companies to burn your life hours.
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.

No, they aren’t. If you’re so easily replaceable then you’re worthless anyway.
Everyone is easily replaced. You’re not some unique snowflake.
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.
Oh, so you’re just an asshole then?
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.
