My company has both a) hired a number of Clojure developers, and b) a number of developers who were good programmers, so switching to Clojure was not a problem.
In general, I noticed that you either hire average programmers (in which case Clojure/ClojureScript could be a problem), or good programmers. Good programmers have no problem with Clojure, regardless whether they know it or not.
Leaving this here because people might think the above comment is universally true. It isn't.
