Not really, I'm trying to hire anyone, even mediocre developers and designers and simply can't get anyone right now on a short term basis even at $300/hr. We're going up to $500/hr soon.

It's really really hard to get people right now. As bad as I've ever seen it.

"Short term basis" being less than 6 months / 1000 hours?

Yes, you will pay a premium. If you can stretch it to 1k hours or 6 months, you will be able to get cheaper prices. I doubt you'd be paying over $200/hr.

What type of projects are you trying to hire for? And how are you trying to hire? I imagine you're not having trouble finding Ruby devs 350/hrs.

Very very hard for me to imagine. I know good designers who'd be willing to work for $40/hr. CAD. Developpers are a bit pricier, maybe 60-70... Can't find mediocre ones for 300? Maybe we don't have the same definition of mediocre. And btw, one year full time at $500/hr is in the vicinity of one million. Where do I sign?

I just quit my job as a Software Architect for one of the biggest hosting providers in the US. I am available for short term projects if you are still looking.

What do you need done?
