Same here. Searched for a frontend guy and got a resumè which seems to fit not just frontend but fullstack, but the last two years he was working just in javascript and frontend.
During the interview it turned out that in the two years he was working on some existing mobile app based on Cordova. If there were any change in the underlying C++/Java code, he updated the UI. We tried to ask more and more easy questions but he did not know the difference between == and ===, did not hear about 'var' keyword and so on. -

I went to Paris for my first interview (that was 1989) for a job of Unix kernel developer. All dressed up. I s...
interview from the other side. A month ago I was looking for frontend dev for team I lead.
Now I believe that it was a nightmare for one guy, whos bio was full of js, angular and a little of php. Thought that he will be the man we were looking for.
Nope. I've started with classic (I suppouse) questions, like call and apply difference. Guy couldn't even manage to say a word. Went to bubbling, nothing. Ok sth easier, hoisting... Maybe at least you're minifying your code? donno what is. Ok so what you actually did from js? "I know jQuery, did something in this, and did full angular app to build forms, store and send them", but after question what Factory is he covered his face in hands, went still for about three minutes and probably would start to cry but we stopped this. I feel sorry for this guy, but he applied for senior frontend position.
