I pretty much want to stick to this minority in hiring. I don't know how to get useful work out of anyone else.

Given a development role, how do you get someone who needs hand holding to be worth their salary? Just hire a lot of manager/mentors and resign yourself to being a large team? Or something else?

I recommend people hiring bootcamp grads to sit them next to a senior dev. There's 1-2 times a day that 5 minutes of mentoring will save them hours.
