My understanding YanYan is that there is a shortage of pilots but it is a shortage of pilots with hours and (obviously) experience.
There are no end of adverts and inter-company drives to get pilots onto other types at new bases etc. but they all require hours.
Good luck,
VFE.
PS; And the next question is: where do you get all those hours? Right? Well, there's instructing, aeriel photo work, para drops, towing gliders and a few other possible routes.
