I have also had some problems hiring neighbors and in the marketplace. My neighbors are busy and if they are full screen do not see the requests. If they are on the farm, they won't see my post on FB. In the marketplace, I hate to hire someone with no tools for a huge overlapped field. They can't pull it off and I have to keep checking to see if they have bailed on me or made a mess of it.
BUT I just started doing something new and it has worked perfectly every time. I prepare a notice on Word telling what I have that needs harvesting and asking if anyone would like to do it and has the time. I also add the time that I am posting it. Then, I copy and paste it into a message for each of my neighbors who are already on their farms. I have never waited more than 2 minutes to get a nice responsible neighbor that comes straight away and does it right.
I do like to hire people in the marketplace who have no tools for a farm that they can handle. I remember needing to level up myself and like to help them.
