You hire people based on their fundamental knowledge and the ability to learn, not skills in arbitrary tools and frameworks which come and go every other day. If someone has used Perforce they will be able to get perfectly comfortable with Git by the end of their first week. So not knowing Git is an idiotic reason to reject a skilled developer. Same with programming languages, and just about every other aspect of software development.
I don't really test any specific tools or frameworks, what i'm using has changed twice just in the last year. More so, I just want to hear that the candidate has some knowledge of what the current models can do well, what they can't do, and how they're integrating it. Whether you're copying pasting code or using something like cursor is not what i'm concerned about.
