Not op, but I am in a similar position and can offer insight. I am unlikely to hire a candidate who would need training because I simply do not have the time to train them. I need someone who gets things done, can self-train if needed, and who already has the minimum required experience so they have minimum impact on team velocity. Moreover I live in an "at will" employment state, so any money/time I spend training a person can just walk out the door at any moment (something I have seen happen just because a person was offered even more money elsewhere).
