I just don't know why (as a trained recruiter you should have this sensibility) you're attacking an individual portfolio - transferring/projecting to him the deficiencies you see in an entire industry and (moreover) in a zeitgeist is not entirely fair. The shallowness you refer it's not his: it's roots lie on the increasingly specialization that is reflected in school curriculae and courses. Who asks for this? The market does.
I too rant about shallowness of gd a lot (I'm probably on the ignore list of 95% of the people here) but I never personalise it in this way.
In fact, I think this portfolio (although still lacking many clichés the industry is made of...) shows an overall intent of coherency and diversification in materials, presentation, etc. It's not "new" but it is interesting.
btw, I'm a recruiter too (not for agencies, though).
If you're so worried about the present state of affairs, fight agency work and let us have small design shops. As it should be (in my book): a craft, not an industry.
