-We offer a competitive salary.
-Places X, Y and Z offer much more.
-We don't compete with them.
Stupidly enough - not satire. I've had this conversation with three different companies. They struggle to attract talent for some weird reason.
"Yes you do, and you're losing." Then walk out.
One of them was my current employer when I was arguing about not managing to keep people on my team.
And I said exactly that, except didn't walk out naturally. In another frustrated discussion I almost yelled "You can't CHOOSE not to compete with them!"
