Yeah, this is the problem. Someone who has legitimately built a basic application or website from scratch may know everything you need, but HR will filter it out.

They don't really understand what they are looking for, so someone who says they are an AI Researcher with 8 years of experience in the language "Zendaya" and work experience at five moon rocket startups will be at the top of the pile.

Companies need to beef up their training programs so they can literally take in whoever and teach them what they need to know. Forget trying to get the top people. Just take the first 20 who can make it through an interview without drooling on the floor. You will probably get at least 9 ok developers and 1 good one.
