Labour shortage? Is there?
It's easy to conclude that labour shortages are the cause of your hiring difficulties. Yet your competitors have qualified employees on their teams, and they keep them.
Ask yourself the following three questions:
¬ Why would an employee come and work for me rather than stay with my competitor?
¬ Do I take the best short-term measures to arouse their interest in coming to work?
at home?
¬ Once I'm in my job, will I have done what's necessary to make him feel fulfilled and stop worrying about him?

Enhance your "employer" image and you'll look good doing it.
Finally, you should know that no one is staring at the "career opportunities" section of your website. People work hard, get treated well and look after their family, friends and health. Someone has to get them out of their routine, sell the attractions of your job and hold their hand throughout. If you don't make it a priority, they'll get away from you, recruiter or not. The majority of jobs that have been difficult to fill can be explained by the lukewarm commitment of the employer. Working with your recruiter to develop a detailed job profile and defining your distinctive character will increase your chances of success.
