I worded that badly sorry. Only one project switched to Go (a rewrite), and a few new projects where Go from the start. There was still a lot of Python. We hired from Open Source communities (mailing lists, conferences, our own website), and applicants always had at least basic language skills and more importantly a desire to work with it. Once you start hiring people from outside, who are not interested in you or your tech and just interested in a job, you lose the benefits being discussed in the article. One of the reasons we expanded to include Go was to increase the size of the recruitment pool.
