If the ability of my talent is only loosely coupled with landing contracts, then I'd try to maximize the gulf between the salary I pay and the value they provide. If fresh grads can produce good enough work to satisfy contracts, and they cost less, they're my target. Many firms work this way, and it seems to be a fairly successful strategy if you can land the contracts. Having a few senior, competent people in the mix probably helps hedge against any serious problems. Also, I'd make sure to get everybody as many useless certifications from big companies as possible, as they improve our ability to land contracts. I'm just playing devil's advocate though. My real answer is I'd change my job.
