It is real. I've had companies calling me after I brush them off.

I do the interviewing for my current company, and we have had a senior role open for 10 months. We have gotten to the offer stage 3 times but lost nonetheless. This is for a rails role.

edit: my boss makes the offers, and I suspect we have been losing out on these positions while making offers around 130-140.

10 months is a long time... you could try to hire non-rails experts and then train them...?

I'm under the impression that it's not only recruiters but also companies who try to hire people with the exact amount of experience for the position; but a good Python dev can certainly pick up Rails fast, no?

We are open to that. At the moment the source of resumes has been recruiters that were given a certain set of marching orders. It might be worth updating those.
