We have hired a number of guys with an arts background. They tend to think out of the box a little better.

I found it easier to hire someone with no experience.  I would look for someone with a trades background, that way they will already have hand skills and will be easier to train.  If you hire someone with experience you have to undo all their bad habits.  I hired a guy once that said he had 20 years experience..Come to find out all he was doing for 20 years was crystallization. He had no idea how to use diamonds.

Very hard and frustrating to find Techs.

I agree. Indeed is good option.

Hey those of you that have struggled with keeping enough technicians
employed this might help. My wife found a site called "Indeed", here in
California.
i've been getting a lot of emails from them and picked up a couple of good
guys.
I get kind of flooded with the unqualified, but I searched through them all
and found what I needed.
Very few with qualifying skills but I succumb to the fact that I'm just
going to have to train New technicians.

I put up signs and used craigslist but nothing ever worked like "indeed". I
got about 20 applicants in the last three weeks. And they still keep coming.
Again most are unqualified, but yesterday I got one with polishing skills
with the countertop fabrication background

Good luck to you all
