Recruiting Web Designers

Impossible dream?

[knighty]

I'm based in the UK and looking to increase my team of desingers and developers. I am having an absolute nightmare trying to find decent web designers.

I just want someone with good visual design skills that uses CSS for layout. Thats it! I have been advertising on monster, totaljobs, using agencies etc. I have seen many, many people but have not found anyone that can do what I want.

Is there a massive shortage or something? Am I advertising in the wrong place?

I have similar problems, there are CSS gurus and then there are good graphic/usability designers.

Hard to find both in one person, why not outsource on here or elance and use both.
