>but people seem so unmotivated right now to work and learn
Hmm.. not been my experience and not for me specifically. My attitude to interviewing (when I was on that side of the fence), was to hire for (I hate to say it as it's subjective), by perceived IQ and their drive to learn/get stuff done. It usually worked out quite well for my hires.
ATM, I'm getting rejected for the most stupid f.things of not knowing some obscure dated framework/library. Not sure if interviewers realize this, but in a lot of cases, it's an evening hacking on a project to learn it. These things are not rocket science.
My thoughts is that there's so many candidates (or maybe posting bots?), that if all checkboxes are not ticked, they can discard them.

About 25 years ago, friend used to have a bullshit detector skill in the job spec requirements. "Experience with: [real things], RFC 1149, [at least one more real thing]." Anyone who claimed experience in that one was automatically rejected. And yes, that was well before a Norwegian user group actually pulled "IP Over Avian Carriers" off in real life.
