I am so stressed out by the HR/General Affairs recruitment process

‌
I just don't understand the CEO.
We are an SME, and as you know, our General Affairs (GA) role is basically just office housekeeping, and it has the lowest salary in the company.
However, the CEO insists that we shouldn't just hire anyone, but rather an HR/GA professional with experience in HR and labor relations.
He even specified that we should only hire men in their early to mid-30s.
But in reality, there is no actual HR work like performance evaluations, policy management, or wage system management.
We did have evaluations, but they were just left to the discretion of each department head without any checks and balances, and since the CEO wanted to do whatever he wanted and employees were constantly complaining, they were abolished.
Even if we did have HR work, it would only amount to posting job ads when hiring is needed and processing payroll.
It is honestly infuriating.
First of all, people with actual HR and labor relations skills do apply, but more than half of them say they won't attend the interview.
When they do show up for the interview, they openly try to distance themselves from GA tasks, so we have to filter them out, or if we tell them they are hired, they refuse to come because they don't want to handle both HR and GA duties.
To make matters worse, during interviews, the CEO even devalues the candidates by saying things like, "We work with a labor attorney's office, so labor relations skills aren't important," or "We don't really do anything regarding HR anyway."
How am I supposed to hire anyone like that?
I've tried suggesting to the CEO that we should focus on hiring people with career gaps or people regardless of their HR/labor skills, but he won't listen to a word I say.
Meanwhile, other employees keep asking when the new GA staff will arrive.
I am seriously on the verge of quitting because of this.
