Unless you make it clear to them in an interview that no, they aren't actually worth 80k unless they can hit the ground running, they'll just say "lol, whatevs, I'll go elsewehre".
No offense, but as someone who basically pulled aside and told I was asking for too much money before...I suspect you are dismissing it out of hand when the reality is a significant fraction of them can.
Admittedly, I'm not a new grad from a college but I've consistently seen the employer/interview side of the table think they can hire me for less than what I make currently and/or stand a reasonable chance of making in the near future. I'm like "Umm. No?".
