RE: Do you answer 100% match jobs only?

One year ago I would agree with this comment:

"Most hiring managers know that it's not all that easy to find an
ideal candidate."

Recently I have changed  my mind.  Now when I post a job I get around
150-200 responses compared to the 5-10 I got a year ago.  The layoffs have
increased the available candidate pool.  The competition has increased and I
am (in general) able to find at least 10 perfect matches for each position.
I think this rule does not apply to jobs that are unusual in nature.  For
instance, I was looking for a senior technical writer that had written a
data book about hardware chips.  After two weeks of searching, I had to
convince the client that previous data book-writing experience should be
moved to the "wish list".
