Then all of you would be in the same shape as we are now. You just described how you would hire. Now tell me what you do when 7-9 turn you down and you are a laughing stock, and may loose your title in the year to come? Continue to go after those that show no interest...please. :lame:

So, you have a lot there who are interested and turned in applications and haven't been contacted?
If this one doesn't work out, you may be right and should call them. From what I've seen in the past, you don't get a lot of qualified applicants that way, but perhaps this case is different.
