After it has been determined that there is a certain level of capacity to perform, then it should be about how excited they are to learn and integrate into the company's technology stack and culture. Technology stacks have become complex enough in recent years that it is a little bit unreasonable to expect a candidate to be familiar with all of it. The same way it is a little bit unreasonable that the developer would know or remember every college level gotcha you could throw their way. For instance what if they code in such a way that they haven't run into that problem in years as it is internalised. Or maybe they make use of tools that eliminate a lot of problems, such as TypeScript or similar. A good developer comes in many forms and increasingly often from all over the world.
