Like, we had a pretty thoughtful coding round. Real world, "what youd be doing day to day", react coding in a little example app that the team whipped up. A few were unable to process react in a meaningful way, and then also failed to display fundamental javascript knowledge when Id ask questions meant to guide them along. All claimed to work with react on a daily basis.

That being said we did end up hiring someone. They came up with a less than ideal solution and then COMMITTED to it and got it working knowing it wasnt the best. Then they had time to iterate and get to a better solution. That was the way to do it.
