> What I do know is that it's much easier for me to hire a competent lawyer or UX designer than it is to hire a competent software developer
I'm curious if you grill the lawyer on some abstract topic from their undergrad courses (possibly 20 years ago) and make them write it perfectly on a whiteboard? Meaning, the same way software developers get interviewed?
Or do you look at the lawyer's professional experience and hire based on that?
It's easy to hire people when you make it easy, it's difficult when you put up artificial barriers to prevent the hiring.
