I don't think they can. HR seems to be full of people who are trying to hire for roles they don't understand. Everyone who works in web development has probably encountered stuff like "Do you know java or javascript? Either is fine" from HR screening calls.
They're both coffee based languages right?
That has a well known solution. In fact, two, depending if you are looking form the PV of the HR people or the people hiring them.
What is the solution?
You can learn stuff. You can also fire people that will refuse to learn stuff.
I mean, I guess that's technically true for some people. Unfortunately, most people aren't in a position to fire anyone or force them to learn anything. And the people who do have that power typically don't care or understand the problem. Whatever capitalist husk is calling the shots isn't going to want to spend money training their HR goons to learn software development.
