> I find hiring extremely time consuming because I need to wade through so many candidates to find a true senior. Filter on years of experience - if you're right that 10 YOE is a useful threshold, it will make your candidate search much easier. I think it would be a really bad approach to hiring though because there are many incompetent people with 10 YOE and many great people with less experience. At the end of the day what you want is a good candidate, not a "true senior".
