In my experience, I've seen direct hiring tends to focus less on "x years of experience" but recruiters, especially larger firms with junior staff doing screening, is absolutely terrible with obsessing over it.
- johnward 10y agoSome postings go way overboard on skillset. You must be a master at everything. I've heard that this is done sometimes so that they can't find the talent locally and then can outsource for that specific role. Some recruiters, not all, are basically no better than a robot. I don't have a B.S. but I have an A.S. plus 10 years of experience now. Give a recruiter a req of "B.S. or equivalent experience" and they will turn me away without a phone call because I don't have the degree. When 10 minutes on the phone is all I would need to convince them I have the experience they need. I've basically given up on interviews for awhile. It drains so much energy just to get canned responses back.
