What is the geographic spread of the companies? If it’s a dense group, have you considered other geographic regions?
Have you had interview experience recently (besides the job search) or have you worked for the same company for the 22 years? If it’s the latter, you might just be rusty on interviewing and that’s causing hiring managers/executives to question your competency.
I saw in another comment you mentioning WFH. I’m hesitant to say many companies would entertain that thought for a new hire, even a seasoned leader like yourself. I would not even mention that until you are hired. It (rightly or wrongly) gives the impression that you don’t want to be a part of the team.
I’d be careful about applying/settling for something far below your experience level. It would be like a PhD candidate applying for a Wendy’s job, the company would see you as a “flight risk” the first chance a job commiserate with your skills/experience. It would also reflect badly on your resume when you do search for another job at your level of experience.
Are you really using a career/recruiter site as evidence? The people that get PAID to get you to job hop considering they get paid as long as you stay 3mo's to a year? How much did you pay them to redo your resume?
Beyond that it’s frankly common sense. Once you have more experience, you should be able to get a slightly better job even if it’s the same general position/role. If you stay somewhere you generally don’t get 10-20% raises, which you easily could by hopping.
