You're optimizing for the wrong thing there.
Given 10 positions you need to fill anticipating these hires will stick around for 3-5 years each.
Pick one:
- [ ] 10 "less experienced" developers for 3-5 years
- [ ] 9 "very experienced" developers for 3-5 years + 1 "no experience" developer for a few months which you'll then have a 90% chance of replacing with a "very experienced" developer
