I would argue there are more developers interested in Elixir than there are jobs available. I would also argue that any developer worth paying, is a developer than can get up & running with a new syntax in a short period of time.

Indeed, I work in many languages with many frameworks, and if my CTO decided that we were going to use Elixir then I would happily start using it.

For me personally though, I can't see any advantages of using it over a JVM stack.
