I'm always surprised when I see this approach to hiring. I have a lot of Haskell in the codebase at my current company. It hrs never occured to me to try to hire from the "Haskell community" we always hire from our product community because tech is easier to teach than product.

Whether this is true depends a lot on the product and the tech that is used.
What product?
Pretty different if it's semiconductor engineers instead of the business school guys that would be covered by that sentence 99% of time.
