My CPA firm is in serious need of talent. We have tried the mainstream job boards over the past 2 years but have come up empty.
Is anyone willing to share ideas / success stories in finding strong candidates?

We need it all but especially in need of a CPA with 10 + years of experience in tax for partner replacement.
We're located in a resort area on the east coast and cost of housing is a huge obstacle. Our firm is super laid back - probably too laid back - we offer flex and work from home. I believe we are offering competitive compensation for the area which includes 401k with match but no health insurance. Below are approx. parameters of our packages - not sure how they compare to other areas - you tell me.
Entry level: $40K - $45K
2-3 years: $45K - $50K
3-5 years: $50K - $65K
5-10 years: $65K - $80K
10 + : $80K +
