I have question to recruiters:

if job requires "Hibernate" and I've used hibernate in my previous job, but have never configured it from scratch, only tweaked some models, wrote some EJBQL queries - does this count as "knowing Hibernate"? I've also never used Hibernate annotations, becasue we use hbm files, and we have templates to make the, so I'd have problems writing such file from scratch.

Do you check knowledge of required libraries on the blackboard? Do you assume people should know all the corners of such libraries, or do knowing some things and wanting to learn more if it will be needed suffices?

I use at work jboss, hibernate, jbpm, and many other technologies that are often mentioned in job offers, but I don't feel I can say I know them - only the parts that I needed to do the job. Is this considered not enough?

Generally speaking you don't need to match a job description 100%, if you match 60-70% that's fine. Depending on the job description you can tell which things are key to the job (programming language, and specialist skills like machine learnings which are core to the job) but everything else is mostly optional.

The more of the description you can match the better it is, but 60-70% will get you an interview in most places.
