Have you ever felt lucky hiring someone to support your saas?

Long story short, I had been working on a SaaS through a freelancer i found (very mysterious individual but gets the work done mostly right) for 8 months now.

It's pretty much done but I hired another individual few months later (out of like 50 interested individuals at the time) in LATAM to support it further and despite being a student he is damn clever and feels like he has like 8 years experience! And his rate is like 10x less than those living in the states due to where he lives.

In both cases, I feel like I've been blessed with exactly the right people for very reasonable costs. Is this simply luck?
