Ask any company dependent on Ruby how its recruiting efforts are going.

Anyone from Square, Stripe, or Shopify want to chime in on this?

I haven't had a problem finding Ruby devs, but I haven't had to hire in a couple of years.

I'm not at any of those companies but it's harder than it was five years ago for sure.

I’ve got a handful of excellent ruby devs available for project work. If anyone needs help, holler.

It still seems pretty relevant and useful.

I was back on the job market not too long ago and I was stunned to discover how many startups are still using Rails. It's well off the hype peak now but there's a lot more life in it than I supposed.
