Reading these IT job descriptions is brutal. So many employers want skilled people, for low pay, on specific platforms, and for a limited amount of time, so much that they lose the fact that they are hiring for knowledge and to fulfill a greater business need, not for button-pushers on specific tools. That's like trying to hire a master plumber for $10 an hour, telling the plumber that s/he needs to be done in 2 hours or less, and then requiring that the plumber only use Kobalt brand wrenches.
What a great comparison

7moLinkedIn AI agrees: "Prioritizing knowledge over tools in hiring is crucial because it ensures that candidates can adapt to various platforms and technologies. As Kathryn Shut pointed out, focusing solely on specific tools can limit the potential of hiring versatile and knowledgeable professionals who can fulfill broader business needs. This approach values the depth of understanding and problem-solving abilities, which are essential for long-term success."
