You will have problems finding developers with lots of experience of Clojure. It's relatively new. There again, finding good developers is hard in any language. You might find more luck looking for good developers and then ask them to learn the language. If there are other developers around, if they are good, they should be productive after a couple of weeks, especially if there are other developers around to ask questions of. When I got my first Java job, I had no experience at it; day one was popping into town to buy a "how to program Java" book. Actually, I had very little experience and no qualifications in programming at all; perhaps the world was a different place then.
