Normally recruiters are super excited about their tech stack, framework, and tools. Somehow they are looking for a senior developer to be thrilled by tools. There is no such thing as a senior hammer user or a senior shovel user, so I don’t know why software gets this so blazingly wrong. Worse is when this becomes a conversation with a hiring manager and they are somehow shocked by your complete lack of total excitement about their framework. Once it becomes clear they are wanting a tool jockey instead of somebody to write software I have already lost complete interest. It might as well be a dead end career telemarketing at that point.
