Honestly you don't seem to be a well put together environment and it feels like you expect to hire experts in some random framework instead of good software engineers. I'm not surprised you're only getting code monkeys who have used your framework in passing or have done basic pixel dev applying that don't meet your bar.
I'm getting tired of replying to troll-ish posts, but:

That is a pretty bold and unfriendly statement to make based on very little information.
> you expect to hire experts in some random framework
We're hiring front-end developers to work on a react and redux application, which is kind of a de-facto standard for single page applications these days. We have an app with a highly dynamic UI that requires immediate user feedback and must work offline. I don't think we're misapplying the technology.

Again, we're interviewing people with several years of professional experience using react and redux listed on their resumes. We're also not tailoring the interview process to only react and redux specific questions, but if someone claims to have been paid to write react apps for three years, I'm going to ask them some questions about writing react apps.
