No offense, but your standpoint sounds like the naive one. You'll miss out on a lot of good talent if you are only hiring from a pool of people that are pre-specialized.
For any position below senior engineer or tech lead, I couldn't imagine putting much stock at all in competency in any specific tech stack. Hiring quick learners helps you hedge your risk if you ever need to pivot (scale, platform swap, etc).
