we're using made-up numbers here, but, 10% ought to be enough of a premium to recruit the best devs, all else being equal about the jobs.


Better devs should have better options than less skilled developers, so if you have a high hiring bar you will be dealing with competitors trying to get those same employees. I don't think 10% over a standard offer would cover a competitors offer.


But probably not enough to convince people to change jobs.
