Does the job ACTUALLY require 10 years experience to do the job? If not, then part of the problem could be that you are requiring unnecessary experience rather than looking at actual job and transferable skills that will work to get the job done. If you aren't willing to make any concessions about length of experience then you can't really bitch about candidates not willing to make concessions about salary, benefits, work days/environment, etc.
