That really varies by the organization. Smaller companies or those using less common platforms are more willing to hire based on transferable skills and then train.

Most airlines do the same. The majority of pilots flying 737s were hired without that specific type rating. Usually they're moving up from flying smaller jets at regional airlines.

Airlines are at the polar opposite end of the spectrum of clearly defined minimum headcount requirement: they know exactly how many keyboards they must have manned, they can't wait it out if there aren't enough candidates who don't require training into the type rating.
