Haskell is easy to hire for.

I worked for a Haskell consultancy for 7 years and did hiring interviews. We filled open roles extremely quickly; the biggest problem was to decide which of the multiple high-quality applicants to pick.

I am now running my own startup and we just put out an internship job description [1].

Within 1 day we got over 20 excellent applications, and we'll probably have space for only 1 for now.

Maybe if you want to hire 100 Haskellers on the spot, you'll find hiring difficult. But most starting businesses don't have that problem.
