No question it's hard - and takes a lot of time/effort (~10 in-person interviews >1yr before I had my first postdoc hires). #1, 3, 4, and 5 will help - and so will a website (I get >90% of applicants coming through website + Twitter).

Also, I focus almost exclusively on proven productivity when hiring - via letter(s), preprints, articles. Don't be lured by fancy-sounding school names - they mean nothing.

I agree that proven productivity is really key. However, it also seems that some people who apparently do well (but not spectacular) in grad school fail miserably during postdoc.

Oh, for sure - there are no guarantees. Different lab, different environment, different projects, different career stage, etc, etc.
