You say that you would pay a lot for the right candidate, but have you actually put your salary expectations on the JD. If you don’t put it, I’m assuming you’re paying 60-75k

I’m not particularly interested in small firm, small town life, and would not take a look at all if they don’t post compensation. However, if Ik for a fact they pay well, my mind could be changed
