Most of these are only red flags if you're hiring robots and not people.
I generally have very little professional experience in the fields that I apply for and no education so, for me, getting hired has usually been a matter of showing that I have a work philosophy that aligns with the goals of my peers and an ability to quickly learn the actual work.
I think your view on this comes from a bit of privileged perspective where you're looking moreso to fulfill contractual obligations in a field that you've already proved yourself in and not one where you're looking for a culture-fit that fosters development.

There's just so many red flags in the way this guy talks about hiring. I personally definitely aim to hire awesome people regardless of their experience. I write a lot about how I hire, if you wanna read more! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24457170 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24457170
