This is a market failing that anyone who is hiring can exploit.

I've worked for a guy who hired young, smart guys without much experience who he felt had potential and who also had some 55+ year old developers who he thought could do things. He was one of the best managers I've had.

So be smart and realise that people who don't fit into what you expect might find it a bit harder at some places to find a job and that you can get better people if you consider people who were not initially what you expected to hire.
