So you need to design you assessment process to reflect the real world scenarios the hire will encounter. It's surprising to me to hear so many developers push back on this notion that you can't design a predictive hiring process. If you were hiring a dentist, wouldn't a great way to assess them be having them fill a cavity? Or asking a chef to make you your restaurant's signature recipe? It seems very logical and the key here is that the work sample is reflective of what they'll encounter on the job.

The problem with the examples you mentioned that their skills are fully transferable. 30-50% of my knowledge is non-transferable because of a)Company domain knowledge b)In a technology the next company won't use. It would be a better comparison to a bridge engineer to build a bridge in a different country. The laws of physics are the same but regulations are not. Building any non-trivial software is more comparable to this. If you hiring for Wordpress (or any other) sweatshops that's a different thing. But then you hiring factory workers.
