The Elusive Mid Level Candidate

It seems to me that finding mid level candidates is becoming increasingly more difficult, especially for technology searches. I can still find senior level people... but that elusive 2 - 3 year person with SQL Server 2005 development skills or that extremely customer service oriented help desk analyst are no longer out there and just not reproducing to meet the current demand. (Don't even get me started on the Java Developer with .NET, AJAX, SOAP and PostgresSQL;) I've tried all the local watering holes to no avail... so now I'm going blogging. Any suggestions?
