I don't see that consensus on this forum.
Yes, reading the forum I do see a consensus on the two years, assuming the pathway you're referring to is one into a decent IS, but if those two years are spent in a DS or a lower tier IS doesn't seem to matter, based on what has been posted on this forum by the major contributors, or all contributors for that matter.

This says more about your school than about most of the good ISs. Over the course of my career I've seen a strong correlation between the quality of the school and the function of the library within that school. The better the school, the less their library fits your description. But perhaps others have had different experiences more aligned with yours.
As far as the actual topic of this thread is concerned, from what I remembered these are always hardest to fill with someone the recruiter gets really excited about:
- Maths, especially HL
- ICT / DT
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Economics
- Librarian
For most of the rest, niche vacancies aside, it's usually not a problem to find someone great, assuming it's for a good school.
