As someone who has read a lot of cvs, i wish more people thought like this. We didn't list the requirements just for fun. Quit wasting people's time by applying for stuff when you don't match the requirements

In every instance where I've been reading cvs for a job, the requirements have always been requirements. If we had nice to have features, they were listed as nice to have.

When I have hired people, I rarely find someone that meets all the requirements. I think a wishlist is a good way to look at it. If someone hits 9/10 things at best and I need someone for the job, then they get it.

Ultimately, there is no standard way to do this as it is up to the person doing the hiring.

I'd also add that someone once specifically applied in a way that I said not to apply, but I was wrong and receiving the application through those means was actually very helpful and they met the other reqs so I hired them.

So much of this stuff is just based on intuition and your ability to demonstrate certain technical skills.

This entire comment section is a mess of people who apparently don't understand that companies are just listing out the things they want. If they find someone that meets those requirements, then fucking awesome.....otherwise, they will still take people in for interviews that meet a majority of those requirements. You think they'll really pass on someone that has only 7 years experience in this hyper specific role when they are looking for 10?

You don't have to meet every single requirement.

Even better I've had an interview for a company that listed a insane list of skills, spanning front-end to backend over 3 different tech stacks... Turns out your application gets sorted into very specific teams by HR, with a much more limited tech stack. They had a whole online platform for testing before I even spoke to a real human....

Being 'locked' into a limited tech stack wasn't what I was looking for at the time, so all in all a huge waste of time.
