I interviewed a developer once who was super junior on paper but had a side project of a fully featured desktop anime episode to watch/watched tracker with lots of library feature features. Hire. Interviewed another Dev who made arcade sticks as a side project. Hired. You can't teach passion. Hire all that passionate people you can. Tech stacks are irrelevant compared to the love of building things.
Also a great filter from the other side. I was not hired once because I didn't have React experience, despite having years of both Vue and Angular and having led teams building non-trivial apps in both. IME focusing on such a minor detail like that means either a) you're going to be so pressured to get stuff out of the door they can't handle slightly lower productivity for a month while you learn the different syntax…

// Since there is no way to not loop a gif using gifwrap,
// let's just put a reeeeaaaaallly long delay after the last frame.
