Well, hiring only super experienced people in a niche talent pool feels arbitrarily difficult. Young devs can be just as good, and we all need to build experience somehow. One rule of thumb for me is that the more young a developer we hire is, proportionally we also need to hire an equally senior. Ie we don't want a huge amount of developers lacking experience. However if you have enough senior developers to mentor the young ones? Seems a net win for all involved, to me at least.
