If only there were jobs in Elixir, god I switched in an instance. Sadly here in Belgium there is not a single company looking for a senior Elixir dev :(.
I love that language...

If remote is an option there's really no shortage of people looking for experienced devs from what I've seen. Feel free to reach out if you want some options.
Might be just what you are looking for :)

We don't have that solved in Elixir, I've helped a few find their way into employment and am working with a few on client work right now.
But companies just need to get into the habit of working with less experienced devs. Not specifically an Elixir problem from what I've seen but we certainly have it.
It might be slightly worse due to many early adopters of Elixir being fairly experienced so the pool of devs has tended to be intermediate/senior. This is changing and I expect companies will, eventually, adapt.
The demand for devs all around is going up what I hear. So competition should return with a vengeance.
